HISTORY
Goldman Recycling was started by the Goldman family in 1921 and is the only Arkansas-owned recycling company servicing the central Arkansas area. The company originally recycled rags, which were ripped for their fibers and then sold to paper companies to make fine writing papers. As the paper market grew, so did the company, branching out to include various grades of papers.
In the mid ‘70s, the Fenley family purchased Goldman, continuing the long tradition of a service-first, family-owned business. The family added many new services, including the largest baler in the state at the time and an in-house multi-product shredder.
Today, the customer-service focus continues under the leadership of new owners Randy Pierce and Matthew Adams. Since taking ownership in early 2007, Randy and Matthew have changed the company name to Goldman Recycling to more accurately reflect the nature of the business. The two continue to expand services and programs, helping businesses in all industries create cost-efficient and environmentally sound waste reduction programs.
Before purchasing Goldman, Randy and Matthew started their own shredding company. ShredSmart was founded in 2004, and, today, serves as the on-site document destruction for some of Arkansas’ largest healthcare, banking and telecommunications companies. The two companies work hand in hand in their mission to help companies be more environmentally friendly. All documents shredded by ShredSmart are then recycled at Goldman Recycling.
