What is the news?

FV Recycling has acquired Mid America Paper Recycling, expanding into the Midwest and creating a stronger,

nationwide recycling partner for customers.


Why is Mid America Paper Recycling becoming part of FV Recycling?

Mid America Paper Recycling is proud to announce that we are now part of FV Recycling, a leading commercial

recycling provider serving the Southeastern United States with nationwide brokerage capabilities. This strategic

partnership allows us to strengthen and expand our service capabilities while continuing to deliver the same

dependable service our customers and partners have known for decades.


FV Recycling is owned by Jones Capital, a family-owned investment company that, like Mid America, has been

built over generations. This shared foundation of family values, community involvement, long-term vision, and a

commitment to operational excellence makes this a strong cultural and strategic fit.


Through this partnership, we gain access to broader resources and opportunities across the Jones Capital

portfolio — enabling us to provide greater value and long-term service stability to our customers and suppliers.

What changes should I expect?

At this time, there are no immediate changes to the way we operate. Don Gaines, along with other members of

the MAPR team, will remain in place to ensure continuity for our suppliers. You can expect the same hands-on

partnership and strategic insight you’ve always received, now backed by even deeper resources.


Until otherwise communicated, business will continue under the Mid America name, with no changes to:

  • Your primary point of contact
  • Billing or payment processes
  • Service schedules or operations


We plan to formally transition to operating under the FV Recycling name and branding sometime in 2026.

All branding updates will be thoughtfully rolled out and clearly communicated.


Who will I work with moving forward?

You will continue working with the same team and point of contact you’ve relied on at Mid America. The staff

and leadership remain in place, and our focus remains on delivering outstanding service and communication

throughout this transition.


Will there be changes to invoicing or payment?

No. All billing and payment information will remain unchanged through the end of 2025. Should any updates

occur in the future, they will be communicated in advance with clear guidance to ensure a seamless transition.


What are the benefits of this partnership?

This partnership strengthens our ability to serve you by:

  • Providing access to FV Recycling’s expanded recycling infrastructure
  • Offering long-term stability through the support of Jones Capital
  • Creating future opportunities to leverage services across other Jones Capital portfolio companies


This transition positions us for continued growth, while preserving the core relationships and standards that our

customers and suppliers value.



Will I be notified of future updates?

Yes. We are committed to transparent and proactive communication. Any changes related to systems, branding,

or operations will be clearly communicated well in advance. Our goal is to ensure a seamless transition with

minimal impact on your day-to-day business with us.



Questions?

If you have questions or need additional information, please reach out to your existing Mid America point of

contact. We’re here to support you throughout this transition and beyond.


We appreciate your continued partnership and look forward to delivering even greater value.
