Ecolad Corporation was founded in 1972 by Gary Awad, who realized there was a need for durable, heavy-duty waste containers that could withstand weather elements and abuse from the general public. As a result, Ecolad manufactured its first heavy-cast aluminum waste receptacle. Ecolad’s product line has grown substantially and includes recycling containers and a variety of outdoor ashtrays. Today, the company is family owned and operated by Gary’s son, Mitchell (president),  Ecolad provides unique quality products along with a high level of service to new and existing customers.
