Sean Brewer

General Manager, Southwest Waste Recycling and Transfer

Sean Brewer started in the recycling business at a very young age, as his grandfather had the first recycling business in Salt Lake City with exclusive salvage rights to the Salt Lake City dump, and he often accompanied him to the landfill, salvaging anything of value.

Brewer’s father ran the largest recycling operation in Nevada and the second shredder to operate within the United States.

At age 11, Brewer left school every day to get dropped off at the recycling facility to learn about how something profitable was possible from what everyone else thought was just waste as well as the importance of teamwork to accomplish the unimaginable.

He has been in the metals recycling business, automotive recycling industry, restaurant business and, for the last 12 years, the construction and demolition recycling industry.
