CleanScapes becomes Recology

Two years ago, CleanScapes entered into a merger agreement with Recology, which was finalized in April of this year.

CleanScapes' name has changed to Recology CleanScapes and trucks, uniforms, website and customer materials will adopt Recology branding. Trucks will be white with blue and green accents and bear the Recology logo, a stylized “R”.

Recology brings additional stability to the company because of its long history, financial resources and work in other cities and communities. The two companies share a strong commitment to the environment.

Recology’s industry-leading expertise complements CleanScapes reputation as a forward-thinking and innovative company in Washington State. Recology is a leader in resource recovery including composting and recycling. They operate several recycling and compost processing facilities and create customer education programs in all of the communities they serve. Recology was a leader in the recycling industry 50 years ago, long before recycling became commonplace or mandated by law. 

Recology promises they will continue to make investments in technology and facilities in the Puget Sound region. Their new material recovery facility (MRF), funded in part by Recology, will open in May 2014. Recology is a leader in the operation of MRFs, compost facilities and equipment such as automated and semi-automated collection vehicles.

An employee-owned company, Recology was founded in California's Bay Area over 90 years ago. Today, the company operates in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, providing resource recovery and disposal services to homes and businesses through collection, recycling and composting. The company serves 116 communities and manages 40 subsidiaries that provide integrated services to over 670,000 residential and 95,000 commercial customers.

Recology serves the City of Shoreline.
