Mahoney Environmental, a leading US-based recycler of used cooking oil (UCO) has announced that it has acquired WOR - Waste Oil Recyclers, Inc., a used oil recycling company based in Modena, Pennsylvania (PA). The integration of WOR into Mahoney Environmental will allow for direct service to Mahoney customers throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

According to a statement, the acquisition of WOR is a “strong fit” into the Mahoney Environmental strategy to grow our reach in the direct servicing of its customers for used cooking oil (UCO) collection, recycling, and other back-of-the-house service needs. Through purchasing WOR, Mahoney Environmental will continue to expand these services nationally and solidify its spot as one of the nation’s top licensed recyclers in the United States.
This acquisition will bring significant volume and contribute to Mahoney growth in self-service coverage, now at 27 states. WOR is unique in the depths to which their recycling culture drives their entire operation, nothing is wasted. They are just as passionate as Mahoney when it comes to their service culture and taking care of their customers. We see this as a common focal point going forward, said Rick Sabol, President of Mahoney Environmental.
The previous owners, Jim Bricker and Brendan Steer will join Mahoney as part of the transition team for the Mid-Atlantic operation.
For over ten years WOR has provided used cooking oil removal and recycling services in the region. Our goal of exceeding customer expectations is ongoing and we are thrilled to be a part of the transition as Mahoney will continue with what we started over ten years ago, said Jim Bricker and Brendan Steer, co-owners of WOR.
