Who We Are: Athens Services is a family-owned and operated waste collection and recycling company. We started hauling with one truck in 1957 on the simple principle of providing exceptional, personalized service. Today, we serve more than 275,000 customers in 50 communities throughout the greater Los Angeles area. What We Do: We provide innovative, reliable, and high-quality waste processing, recycling, and other environmental services for residential, commercial, and public-sector customers. We are a regional leader in the industry, known for investing in the communities we serve, the people we employ, and the technology that will foster a sustainable environment for generations to come. Through reuse, recycling and composting, Athens diverts valuable resources from landfills. What We Believe: Athens’ mission remains much as it has always been: Provide great service to our customers; employ and develop great people; and foster a safe, healthy, and sustainable environment. That’s what we call The Athens Way. We are more than a corporation; we are family-owned and operated, and always will be.
