ABOUT THELIN RECYCLING
Our Purpose
Building lives and clearing the way for Texas infrastructure.
History
Thelin Recycling was established in 1996 primarily focused on contract grinding, green waste recycling, and storm debris reduction.
In May of 2020, Austin Wood Recycling acquired Thelin, creating the largest grinding company in the nation. Thelin continues to provide land clearing, grinding, and hauling services while crafting and bagging a line of premium Texas Native landscape products.
​
Today, the company employs 230+ people, owns 350+ pieces of equipment, and brings in roughly $60 million a year in revenue.
Mission Statement
What Matters Most
At Thelin Recycling, we keep our values front and center because it helps us steward the business and our work to positively influence all aspects of company operations.
​
“To glorify The Lord by being good and faithful servants to His people and creation.”
​
Thelin Recycling has rooted itself in service since it's inception, cultivating a family-owned atmosphere in the pursuit of responsible stewardship of the land. Our goal is to give back to nature by recycling the collected materials from suburban and urban improvement projects using sustainable, environmentally friendly land-clearing practices. We strive to respect our natural resources by recycling all organic material; thereby reducing environmental strain and preventing landfill waste.
​
By creating our line of premium Texas Native® landscape products from recycled organic materials, we’re proud to manufacture goods from a byproduct of development. And as the nation’s largest contract grinding company, the Thelin Recycling family is committed to continued growth with Texas and our customers across the United States, using safe, environmentally sound construction and manufacturing methods; exceeding customer expectations by delivering on time, with friendliness and dependability.
Our Values
Community Involvement
In line with our values, Thelin Recycling is heavily invested in its surrounding communities with involvement through sponsorships, donations, and fundraisers
Our involvement in the State Fair of Texas through sponsorship of the Big Tex Youth Livestock Auction is just one of the ways we give back to the next generation. Our Texas Native brand of mulches have been a mainstay for fundraising in countless school programs, Boy Scout Troops, and FFA groups.​
​
Our donations to the Fortlandia Exhibit at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Boy Scouts of America, Riverbend Church Austin, and Hill Country Love Garden have been enjoyed by many and we continue to look for opportunities to donate our time and materials to our community.
​
Additionally, our involvement and sponsorship with different Chambers of Commerce has allowed us to give back to the community of businesses around us.
​
We could not be more proud of or thankful for the communities that surround each of our locations and we are ultimately grateful to serve the people of Texas.
