Why We Exist
Every day, industrial facilities across the nation face a critical challenge: what to do with the materials they can no longer use. Conveyor belts wear out, metal scraps accumulate, and valuable resources end up destined for landfills.
We believe there’s a better way. What others see as waste, we see as opportunity. Our purpose is to prove that industrial byproducts don’t have to be discarded — they can be transformed, repurposed, and given new life.
We exist to turn industrial waste into value, reducing environmental impact while creating economic benefits for our partners. Every ton of material we recycle is one less ton in a landfill, and one more step toward a sustainable future.
Turning waste into worth, one partnership at a time.
History of EZA
The idea behind EZA Recycling Solutions — that what we throw away can be worth money — originated during a childhood trip to a recycling center. Owner and founder Ezekiel Setne was nine when he first tagged along with his parents to return some of the family’s empty aluminum soda cans, and it wasn’t long before he was earning $10 a month by rounding up and bagging the cans himself. Soon after, he expanded to handle the spare parts left over from working on cars with his father.
At 16, Setne entered community college, using profits from fixing cars and recycling their spare parts to pay tuition. When it became clear that his current business wouldn’t cover the cost of a university, he again looked to expand. During regular conversations with his father — a vibration analyst at a sand and gravel quarry in Bridgeport, Texas — Setne learned that rock mines often had trouble getting rid of their waste materials. Scrap conveyor belt, scrap poly pipe, and scrap metal would pile up in the boneyard, and the maintenance supervisor would get stuck calling a handful of companies to clean it up.
Setne had been recycling metal for a decade and had some experience with plastics, but rubber belting was far more difficult to handle — the industry standard at the time was simply to pay contractors to haul it to a landfill. After several months of research and negotiation, he worked out a way to actually buy conveyor belt, and using the profits from repairing a Honda S2000, he purchased his first truckload of mining waste. A bit of paperwork later, EZA Recycling Solutions was born.
Small shipments of belt, pipe, and metal began to add up, and EZA earned a reputation as a one-stop shop for plant managers and maintenance supervisors. The next big step was working out the logistics of plant demolition, so EZA could pay mines to tear down old structures and recycle the metal. This service drew attention from quarries accustomed to hiring contractors for the same projects, and Setne used it to build relationships with some of the largest mining companies in the world.
Today, EZA Recycling Solutions still works with its original mining clients and has expanded to large-scale recycling projects across several other industries. In addition to its core focus on conveyor belt, HDPE pipe, and metals, EZA now recycles a variety of waste materials found in industrial quantities.
