We’re excited to share our 2025 Sustainability Update!

This year’s update highlights our continued efforts to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, support our employee-owners, and partner with communities to promote recycling and composting. By transitioning to renewable and alternative fuels, generating renewable energy from collected landfill gas, and powering our facilities with renewable or carbon-free electricity, Recology is pushing the boundaries of sustainable resource recovery.

We’re so excited to share that Zac Ramsey, side-loader driver at Recology Arcata, has been awarded 2025 Driver of the Year by the National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA) in the Regional Residential category! With more than 150,000 waste collection drivers nationwide and companies from every state competing, this is an incredible honor.

Zac services the entire City of Arcata, where he drives a side-loader and picks up about 1,000 totes a day. He has worked in the industry for 23 years. Frank Nelson, General Manager of Recology Arcata, says Zac’s special bond with the people of the community was made apparent in the heartfelt letters many residents wrote in support of his Driver of The Year candidacy.

Congratulations, Zac, and thank you for all that you do for your community! Read more about Zac’s award: bit.ly/2025doty

In our communities, a hidden hazard is causing big problems: lithium-ion batteries.

You may not feel like you’re discarding many batteries these days, but lithium-ion batteries are in more places than you think! Often tucked inside e-cigarettes and vapes, kids’ toys, and power tools, these batteries—no matter how large or small—can spark fires, threaten our drivers, and harm the environment if they’re not discarded properly.

This , learn how to safely dispose of your batteries at recology.com/batterysafety.
