AMP Portsmouth serves municipal, commercial, and industrial customers with efficient waste processing and recycling solutions. We also supply high-quality recovered materials that support the circular economy—turning waste into feedstock for new products and packaging.

RDS has operated waste and recycling facilities for two decades, and the company has been at the forefront of expanding recycling access in Hampton Roads. RDS has been an early and enthusiastic adopter of advanced technologies to increase recovery and landfill diversion, drive down processing costs for local governments, and generate data for continuous improvement.
