Record volumes collected in San Mateo by Recology
Record volumes of material were collected by Recology during the company's initial days of service in San Mateo County, Calif., through a new contract.
The company saw a 78% increase in the daily average of organic materials collected and a 31% increase in the daily average of recyclable materials collected during its first three days of service this week, Recology said.
Recology, formerly known as Norcal Waste Systems, began servicing 92,000 homes in San Mateo County this week.
Recology is providing service to members of the South Bayside Waste Management Authority, also known as RethinkWaste, in the county.
The 12 members of RethinkWaste are Atherton, Belmont, Burlingame, East Palo Alto, Foster City, Hillsborough, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Carlos, San Mateo, the county of San Mateo, and the West Bay Sanitary District.
"We are very excited about the increased recycling volumes we are seeing," said Kevin McCarthy, executive director of RethinkWaste. "The success in recycling experienced thus far exceeds our expectations."
