Recology


Recology’s mission is to create resource ecosystems that protect the environment and sustain our communities. Recology was established in 1920, and as of 2015 they have approximately 3,000 workers and have raised $800,000,000. In 2007, the employees bought the company. Recology is now 100% employee owned. The Recology we went to is located on 501 Tunnel street San Francisco California, but there are 8 other locations too. The name represents recycling and ecology. We can help Recology by recycling and composting correctly. You can learn more by taking a tour, you can go to the artist residence, you can visit the sculpture garden, you can take your paint, batteries, and toxic waste there, and you can go to art openings. You can also go there to take your waste. In 2000, SF lowered their waste by 50%, and now it’s reduced by 80%. You can take a peek at one of their locations or go to their website at http://www.recology.com/.
