The story started with a single truck. In 1974, founder Guy "Sonny" Antonacci and his wife, Mary Ann, started Somers Sanitation - named after their hometown of Somers, Connecticut.

Entertainment businesses:
Beyond waste and recycling, the family owns and operates Sonny's Place, a popular family entertainment center, a golf club, and horse farms.
