Celia Furber

Celia has built her career around designing, strategizing, and implementing large scale sustainability programs. Prior to working for Recology, she successfully implemented plastic bag and polystyrene ordinances for the City of San Jose as well as the City of Menlo Park.
She began working for Recology in 2013 as a Waste Zero Specialist in Mountain View, and spent nearly five years improving and expanding Mountain View’s commercial compost and recycling programs. Her efforts resulted in the city’s full compliance with state laws AB341 and AB1826 – and a 77% diversion rate.
Celia is now thrilled to be the Waste Zero Manager for Recology Sonoma Marin, leading a very talented team of nine. Her top priorities in Sonoma and Marin counties are to educate the community on recycling/compost, increase diversion, and reach 100% compliance with state laws AB341 and AB1826. She will be sharing strategies her team is utilizing to accomplish Waste Zero goals, as well as progress made so far.
