About Us

Capitol Fiber, Inc. (Capitol) prides itself in providing local municipalities, businesses, institutions and waste handlers the best possible service and innovative recycling solutions to help customers make or save money through recycling. Our specialty is working with customers to provide economically beneficial and environmentally responsible solutions for their recycling needs.

Established in 1990 as a joint venture between The Washington Post and Canusa Corporation, Capitol began operating in response to the District of Columbia’s initiative to process and market its old newspaper. Over the past two decades Capitol has evolved into a 100,000 SF full-service Material Recovery Facility (MRF) located in Springfield, VA, which processes nearly 10,000 tons per month of recyclables.

Managed by Canusa Corporation in conjunction with Canusa Hershman Recycling, Capitol’s mission is to be the premier recycler in the Nation’s Capital. Capitol prides itself in providing local municipalities, institutions, waste/recyclable haulers, and commercial business with innovative, cost effective and environmentally sounds recycling programs. By conducting thorough site analysis we develop a solution resulting in a custom-tailored program combining world-class service and generous revenue sharing.

By creating non-intrusive programs which are easily integrated into everyday business operations we’re able to meet our customers recycling needs without disrupting their business. We make sure recycling is as effortless as possible so business expenses are minimal and the value of your material is maximized. Through our extensive network of domestic and international end users we’re able to get the best market pricing for the commodities we process. These connections enable us to provide aggressive rebates for our partners which can drive profits to the bottom line.
