We are always looking for ways to advance our recycling programs, save precious resources, and create a better environment for current generations and generations to come.
Athens Services is committed to our future. We live on a finite planet and discarded material must be handled responsibly. By utilizing a Zero Waste system, we first reduce the amount of materials created, thus saving natural resources, energy and water. All actual waste material is then reused, recycled, or composted, reducing the amount of discards to landfill.
Zero waste is designed to safely return materials back to industry or soil without any ill effects to human, animal or global health. Through reuse, recycling and composting, Athens diverts valuable resources from landfills. As the company that developed the first mixed-waste processor in Los Angeles county, Athens has always been ahead of the curve. We are also the first company to utilize the Max-AI commercial unit: an artificially intelligent autonomous technology that uses mechanical vision to help sort recyclables and waste.
