about Recology
For more than a century, Recology, headquartered in San Francisco, has been at the forefront of resource recovery and recycling. With over 4,000 employees serving more than 130 communities across California, Oregon, and Washington, Recology generates approximately $1.5 billion in annual revenue.
As a 100% employee-owned company, Recology has helped redefine waste management by placing sustainability and community stewardship at the heart of its operations. Guided by its vision of a world without waste and its Waste Zero ethos, the company is dedicated to eliminating waste through innovative recycling, composting, and resource recovery solutions.
Recology sets a standard for purposeful leadership in the waste management and resource recovery sector by its efforts to advance waste reduction and recycling, protect the environment, and strengthen the communities they serve. By combining groundbreaking initiatives, a deep commitment to sustainability, and impactful community engagement, Recology demonstrates that achieving a world without waste is not just a goal; it’s a reality in progress.
As Recology continues to grow and evolve, they have identified a need for greater standardization and enterprise-wide visibility, consistency, and scalability across core operations. As they expanded across markets and services, differences in processes limited real-time insight and made coordination increasingly complex. They set out to modernize their technological foundation with a standardized, integrated platform to improve transparency, enable better decision-making, and support long-term growth.
Recology selected AMCS as a strategic partner because AMCS aligned with Recology’s vision for a modern, integrated operating system AMCS was already well advanced on that journey and demonstrated both the momentum and commitment needed to deliver the remaining capabilities at pace. Just as important, AMCS approached the partnership collaboratively, welcoming input and engaging in ongoing dialogue as AMCS Platform continued to evolve alongside Recology’s needs.
