Recology

Recology is proud to be the first waste and recycling company to pilot a hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse collection truck! Our partners, New Way? Trucks and Hyzon, have delivered cutting-edge technology that will bring our industry closer to achieving a zero-emission future. We’re so excited to test this vehicle on the streets of San Francisco as part of our pioneering efforts to reduce waste and use clean energy. “Recology’s leadership on recycling and composting helped make San Francisco ‘the greenest big city in the nation’” said Recology CEO Sal Coniglio. “Now we are leading the way on sustainable operations.” Read more at https://bit.ly/3T5Ymy6

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re wearing pink with pride!

We hope you'll join us in spreading awareness with a little extra pink this month! ??

Thank you San Francisco Italian Heritage for hosting another amazing parade celebrating #ItalianAmericanHeritageMonth with our San Francisco community! Our employee-owners loved the energy and love people had for our drill team and antique garbage trucks. The Recology story started over 100 years ago with hardworking Genoese Italian-immigrants who recovered reusable materials from what some people considered waste – creating the foundation of our business model today. We are proud to carry on their legacy and keep recovering as many materials as we can. See everyone next year! ????

Join us this #CustomerServiceWeek in celebrating our incredible customer service team! We appreciate the dedication of our employee-owners, who consistently uphold our company’s commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Thank you for supporting the needs of our customers, drivers, and operational staff every single day!

Recology is proud to be the largest 100% employee-owned company in the resource recovery industry! Our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is just one part of why it’s great to work at Recology. Our ESOP leaves stock in the hands of current and former employee-owners, not external shareholders – ensuring that our hard work and dedication to be the best service provider we can be pays off for all. When Recology succeeds, we all do! Learn more about our employee ownership culture and check out available jobs at recology.com/careers.

We are excited to have honored Melvin, Rafa, and Vernon, who have a combined 61 years of service to San Francisco, during a San Francisco Giants home game this month! We are so grateful to have employee-owners who go above and beyond to show their commitment to their customers and communities every day. Thank you, Giants, for showcasing our honorees and for your ongoing commitment to sustainability year after year!

In pursuit of a world without waste, Recology is committed to reducing our overall carbon footprint. Last year, our facilities made up less than 2% of our total greenhouse gas emissions. Our plan is to further decrease that number by powering our transfer stations, MRFs, customer service centers, maintenance shops, and all other facilities with 100% renewable or carbon-free electricity by 2028!

To celebrate Zero Emissions Day, we’re sharing some of the steps we've taken to reduce our own emissions and help create a cleaner, more sustainable future! ?? By prioritizing renewable fuels, we’ve cut our fuel-use emissions by 77% since 2018. ?? Five years ago, we set out to power our fleet with 90% renewable or alternative fuels by 2022. We're proud to say we’ve achieved that goal—and we’re not stopping there! ?? In 2019, we rolled out the nation’s first electric Class 8 rear loader in Seattle and have been testing electric collection vehicles in more operations. ?? Finally, we just tested North America’s first hydrogen fuel cell-powered electric refuse truck in San Francisco! We’re excited to keep revolutionizing our fleet to help us achieve a world without waste.
