The San Francisco City Attorney s Office has reached a settlement with Recology, collectively valued at $107.6 million, stemming from inaccurate rate increases disclosed during an ongoing public corruption investigation as well as unfair competition practices. This news comes as competitors and critics have already been looking for ways to potentially chip away at the company s exclusive lock on the local market.
The deal, announced Thursday, comes after Recology s former government and community relations manager for the area, Paul Giusti, was charged in federal court for allegedly trying to influence a former city official via bribes and other actions. That official helped approve a more than 14% rate increase for the company in 2017. According to the new settlement, Recology used inaccurate calculations to justify that increase and no corrective action was taken by either party once it was discovered.

Although the waste industry has worked to make jobs safer in recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, vehicle-related deaths remain a top issue, according to speakers at the Solid Waste Association of North America’s Safety Summit on Thursday.
Presenters also discussed in-cab camera and artificial intelligence technology meant to reduce vehicle accidents and deaths, along with training techniques meant to create safer workplaces and drive down injury and fatality rates. It s been a long-term goal for a sector that often sees collection workers among the top five or six most fatal occupations in the United States.
