Athens Services partnered with Homeboy Threads to give old uniform polos and work pants a second life ♻️ Homeboy Threads works with businesses to ensure apparel and textiles are put to their best use—whether through reuse, resale, fiber-to-fiber recycling, or responsible disposal. The polos are being recycled since they’re no longer usable. However, the work pants are still in great condition and are being donated for Homeboy employees to use. 👕 Got clothing you no longer need? Give it a second life by donating or upcycling it! Learn how: https://lnkd.in/gSYzpNET 🖥️

Athens Services proudly donated a 2013 Mack TerraPro collection vehicle, nicknamed “Big Mack,” and a Chevy Silverado to the Pomona Fairplex Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC). 🚚 🛻 Big Mack was just serving the city a month ago but after more than a decade of service, the truck has been retired and will now be utilized as a powerful learning tool for the next generation. Students will now gain hands-on experience with real equipment, from CNG engines and hydraulic systems to welding heavy-duty materials used in the field. This isn’t just a donation, it’s an investment in skills, careers, and futures. 🔧 We’re honored to partner with the Pomona Fairplex and the City of Pomona to help build pathways for future skilled workers.

Yesterday we celebrated the ribbon-cutting ceremony for our state-of-the-art Irwindale Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) ♻️ This 17-acre, Silver LEED facility is powered in part by solar energy and equipped with advanced AI sorting technology to process residential and commercial single-stream recycling, C&D materials, organic materials, and open to the public for self-hauling. More than 20 years in the making, this milestone reflects our continued commitment to innovation, sustainability, and serving the Irwindale community and greater Southern California. Thank you to the City of Irwindale and all of our fantastic guests who were in attendance. #AthensServices #CityOfIrwindale

City of Glendale, CA National Night Out – A Night of Fun, Learning, and Community! Athens Services had an amazing time at this year’s Glendale National Night Out! Our booth was all about outreach and education, and we were thrilled to connect with so many community members. Ellen and I were proud to guide visitors through our famous sorting game, answer questions, and share tips on how to be more sustainable at home. The enthusiasm and curiosity from everyone who stopped by made the night truly special. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made the event a success! 💚 Let’s keep working together to build a cleaner, greener Glendale! ♻️🌱 #NationalNightOut #GlendaleCA #CommunityOutreach #RecyclingEducation #Sustainability #Teamwork #SB1383
