Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox website Greyhound Recycling is an Irish waste collection and recycling company based in Clondalkin, Dublin.[1]

History

The company was founded in 1974 by Bernard and Maura Buckley,[2] Currently it is headed by their sons Michael and Brian Buckley.[1] The company announced 100 new jobs in 2019, bringing the total employees in the firm to 600 people.[3]

The company took over the waste collection business from South Dublin County Council in 2011,[4] making it one of the largest household recycling companies in Ireland.[4] In 2012, it took over the Dublin County Council waste collection[5][6] and it serves over 500,000 customers in 12 local authorities in Ireland, as well as operating renewable business interests in 15 countries in Europe and Asia.[4]

In 2013 directors Michael and Brian Buckley were found guilty of failing to control emissions and odours coming from their main storage facility in Dublin, and sentenced to pay a fine along with legal costs and a contribution to two charities.[7]

In August 2016 Greyhound bought the domestic waste collection businesses from its rival Panda and Greenstar in a merger process.[8] As a part of Recycling in the Republic of Ireland the company is now investing €35 million into its commercial division.[3]

A 14-week industrial dispute in 2014 over pay cuts and redundancies ended with a settlement between the workers and the company,[1][9] Greyhound workers’ elected representatives, and the SIPTU organisers involved in the dispute negotiated an agreement with management.[9]
