A Family-Owned Recycler in Fort Worth
AP&J Recycling is a family-owned business at 990 Haltom Road in east Fort Worth. We specialize in post-industrial plastics, mainly HDPE and polypropylene, which we grind and process into regrind that molders and compounders use as raw material.
Our work starts where a manufacturer’s waste stream ends: production scrap, rejected parts, purgings, excess inventory and obsolete product. Instead of paying to landfill that material, our customers send it to us, and it goes back into new products.
Our family has been in the recycling industry since 1988. We founded AP&J in 2018 and opened our Fort Worth plant in 2019, and we keep investing in equipment and processes that let us take on new materials and new kinds of jobs.
What We Do
Everything we offer comes back to one goal: keeping useful material out of the landfill and back in production.
- Industrial plastic recycling of HDPE, polypropylene and other post-industrial plastics
- Plastic grinding and toll processing that turns scrap into usable regrind
- Product destruction for expired, recalled, obsolete or off-spec goods
- Landfill diversion and commercial recycling programs for businesses
- Roll-off hauling to get material from your site to ours
- Full circle recycle programs that return your scrap to manufacturing
Our Fort Worth Facility
Our plant is in east Fort Worth, close to the manufacturers, distributors and warehouses we serve across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Material comes in by our own roll-off trucks or is dropped off by customers, then gets sorted, ground and prepared for its next use.
Not sure whether we can take your material? Call 682-841-1303 and tell us what it is and roughly how much you have.
Recognized in Our Community
In 2021 the Fort Worth Star-Telegram covered AP&J as the local place to recycle polypropylene campaign yard signs, which the city’s curbside program can’t take. It’s a small example of what we do every day: finding a second life for plastic that would otherwise be thrown away. Read our guide to recycling campaign signs in Fort Worth.

Who You’ll Work With
AP&J is run by Paul, Adam and Jeanette Socket-Barrett, our managing partner. When you call, you reach the people who run the plant, and the same team that quotes your job is the one that handles your material. Alexandria Teplicek, our CSR Manager of Trading & Freight, schedules every pickup and delivery at the plant.
We almost always visit a site before setting up a program, so we can see the material, the space and how it’s stored. Every load gets a receiving ticket, and we can send monthly reports if your customers or corporate office ask for them.
