Waste and Recycling businesses:
With roots dating back to the 70s, three generations of family and a dedicated team of professionals are leading USA Waste and All American Waste into the future while serving communities in CT, Western MA, and Westchester, NY. They operate one of the region's most forward-thinking waste and recycling enterprises with a commitment to remaining on the leading edge of waste, hauling, and processing - innovating every step as they work to find the best solutions for safe and efficient residential and commercial services. From building the country's largest state-of-the-art recycling facility, to powering its buildings with solar energy, and fueling its trucks with all-American natural gas, they are committed to the communities they serve, and the planet.
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. While their fleet, facilities, services, and family have all grown, they take pride in continuing to operate these businesses based on the fundamental principle that has guided them since the beginning - to provide exceptional service and innovation to the communities and people they serve.
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. Together, these ventures reflect a multigenerational legacy that blends environmental services, hospitality, agriculture, and community recreation, with a consistent emphasis on family leadership, regional investment, and long-term growth.
