Pellitteri Waste Systems names new president

Madison, Wisconsin-based waste and recycling company Pellitteri Waste Systems Inc. has promoted David Pellitteri to president.

David is part of the third generation of Pellitteris to lead the family-owned company, following his father, Tom Pellitteri, and grandfather, Tony Pellitteri.

David most recently served as vice president of finance and development, and the company says his promotion reflects his longstanding dedication and significant contributions.

He started working at the family business as a driver in the small container division while in high school and later worked with the sales team while attending college. After completing studies at Bethel University, David returned to Pellitteri Waste, where he was tasked with developing a new confidential data destruction division. Throughout his career, he also has led the sales team, overseen operations and continued to develop the recycling division.

Tom maintains co-ownership of Pellitteri Waste Systems, sharing an equal partnership with his children, David, Tim and Danielle. Tom will retain the position of chairman of the board, providing guidance and continuity to the company’s leadership.

“I am blessed to have my father as my mentor and truly enjoy having my brother, sister and father as my business partners," David says. "Together we work to take care of our customers and staff while following our core values and fulfilling our company mission. Our employees are the driving force behind the success of our company, providing the high level of service our customers have come to rely upon. I am honored to lead and support the Pellitteri team.”

David serves on the Council on Recycling as well as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Waste and Materials Management Study Group, contributing to advancing sustainable waste management practices. He is the chair of the Wisconsin chapter of the National Waste and Recycling Association and executive vice chair for the Services Board of Governors.

Pellitteri Waste Systems provides waste and recycling collection, specialty recycling services, on-site confidential data destruction and single-stream recycling processing to commercial, industrial and residential customers throughout southern Wisconsin. The company services more than 76,000 households.
