Why we are in business

Our Purpose

Recology is redefining the waste industry by finding new ways to process and reuse what was once considered waste – or, as we like to say, “achieving the best and highest use of all resources.” The mission of Recology represents a fundamental shift from traditional waste management, away from landfill.

Recology strives to recover more recyclables so that the material can be repurposed into new products; we also place a high importance on transforming organics to nutrient-rich soil amendments or energy. By encouraging sustainable resource recovery practices nationally, Recology hopes to carry out our vision of a world without waste.
