Royal Carting Service Co.

Royal Carting Service Co. and its sister company Welsh Sanitation Service have been the premier waste management service provider in the Hudson Valley since 1955. 

Our family-owned and operated company has grown to serve the greater Hudson Valley including Dutchess County, Ulster County, Putnam County, Greene County, Columbia County, and Litchfield County (CT). With over 200 employees that span generations, we are committed to delivering reliable, socially-responsible waste management services.

Three Generations Dedicated to Service & Community

As a young man determined to make his way and support a family, Emil Panichi launched Royal Carting as a part-time second job with a single truck. A living example of learning the business “hands-on,” Emil collected the garbage cans house-by-house while his employee drove the truck on their single Dutchess County route. Since that humble beginning, Emil has committed his time and energy to seeing Royal Carting grow and thrive across the Hudson Valley. Through the years, the business has expanded from residential garbage collection to include drop-off service and commercial waste removal. Royal remains a pioneer in recycling, having designed its first recycling program in 1977. Today, more than half of Royal Carting’s vehicles are zero-emission. Royal Carting, with sister company Welsh Sanitation, employs nearly 200 Hudson Valley residents and operates a fleet of specialized vehicles, along with its own single-stream recycling drop off center and two NYS DEC permitted transfer stations. Having entered the business as teenagers working on weekends and school breaks, daughters Elisa and Evelyn are proud to carry on the Panichi family business tradition and community service mission that are the heart of Royal Carting.
