As Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at ReCommunity, Jeff helps communities realize economic, social and environmental opportunity through recycling. Through its revolutionary approach to resource recovery and sustainability, ReCommunity transforms very valuable resources contained in end-of-life products into useful products.Through a host of patented technologies and processes, ReCommunity transforms the way and ease with which North American communities deal with their valuable resources. ReCommunity designs, builds and operates some of the most automated and efficient Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) in the nation. Single-stream facilities, for example, do not require home owners, businesses and schools to separate individual recyclables (paper, glass, aluminum and plastics) from another into separate bins. Now all recyclables can be placed in single, larger rolling bins. This reduces everyone’s time, increases recycling and community participation.ReCommunity is the largest “pure-play” recycler in North America with 35 facilities in 13 states and more than 1,500 employees. The company is unique in that it does not own landfills or collection trucks. Without this conflict-of-interest, which is built into many waste management companies, ReCommunity is singularly focused on maximizing recovery and recycling for partner communities through custom resource recovery solutions.
