Municipal Customers
Many local governments struggle with how to achieve their economic and environmental goals. Often they want to do more towards making the planet a livable place for future generations but don't know how.

Recology takes a practical approach to waste reduction, recycling and landfill diversion. We partner with communities to prevent at least 50% of their "waste" from going to landfills.

At Recology we find ways to make it possible for communities to do more through food and yard debris recycling, and construction and demolition debris reuse programs. With a solid history and reputation as a problem-solver, we continue launching successful, affordable, and effective residential and commercial recycling programs in communities of all sizes.

Recology also invests in infrastructure for material recovery operations so that communities can achieve their long-term sustainability objectives. Recology provides waste reduction consultation, recycling and reuse opportunities that expand local waste services, which include energy and materials recovery, collection and disposal.
