Recycling Industries

Our history of helping make your recycling easier and more beneficial started over 30 years ago. Our founder and CEO, Scott Kuhnen, set out to make recycling (a relatively unheard of thing back then) not just something to consider doing, but something people wanted to do.  Scott started by erecting a simple, wooden roadside newspaper deposit bin.  Since those humble beginnings, we have worked tirelessly to fulfill that original vision and as a result have become one of California’s largest and fastest growing recyclers. Even with all the growth we’ve enjoyed, we still pride ourselves most on the foundation we were built on — honest, friendly and dependable service.As our General Manager, David Kuhnen likes to say, “We simply have a make-it-happen attitude, and we never underestimate the value of plain hard work.” A Make-it-happen attitude is what makes Recycling Industries unique. What truly sets us apart is the problem solving spirit our people bring to every aspect of our company, especially our customer relationships.  From our sorters to our drivers to our executive team, we’re always looking for ways to help your recycling go smoother, more efficiently, more profitable, and hopefully a little more fun along the way.We’ve never once set our sights on being the biggest recycler in the Sacramento, Yuba-Sutter area, we’ve only aimed for one thing: leading the way to better recycling service, and that has led to our remarkable growth.  Recycling Industries has the rare distinction of being the fastest growing recycler and largest exporter of recyclable paper fiber in the area, and we owe it all to our loyal customers and our insistence on the quality they’ve come to expect from their recycling partner.  Looking for a recycler with integrity? Call us today.Back in 1975, a small company struck out to make a difference to the Earth and the people living on it. Recycling Industries was created to meet the recycling demands of businesses and individuals in the Northern California area. Since then, we have been striving to offer the absolute best in customer service, price and convenience. We're proud to do our part in protecting the wondrous planet we live on, and we appreciate you joining in. Stemming from our philosophy of environmental responsibility and customer incentive, our motto is, 'GREEN I$ GOOD!' Recycling is beneficial to our Earth and everyone on it, and we think it should be rewarding as well. That's why we strive to make recycling easy, affordable and sometimes even profitable for you.
