Operational Impact
Recology was able to help the city reach a 52% recycling goal in 2002 by switching to dual collection vehicles and optimizing the new fleet with RouteSmart. | |
San Francisco now diverts 80% of all waste generated by the city away from landfill disposal through source reduction, reuse, and recycling and composting programs. | |
The city’s partnership with Recology and its advanced waste reduction programs have helped San Francisco become the Greenest City in North America and receive a perfect score for resource recovery and recycling in the 2011 Siemens Green City Index. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Recology was able to save about $7,000 per week on overtime at one company alone. | |
