DTG RECYCLE Enters the Pacific Sweeper Market with Professionalism
S
ometimes the new kid on the block isn’t exactly new. Which is exactly the case when it comes to DTG Recycle.
As one of the largest commercial recyclers in the Pacific Northwest, the company is no stranger to helping customers while keeping an eye on environmental impact. Which is why it only made sense for the firm to make a lateral move to sweeping last fall. “We were sweeper customers ourselves,” explains Ryan Jackman, Chief Growth Officer. “The service was something we needed as part of our stormwater management plan for our facilities and a big part of being a good neighbor to the communities surrounding our nine facilities.” But that’s when they noticed trouble with the providers they were using. “The services we were getting were not good,” explains Jackman. “Not only were they expensive, they would come through and really do a half-hearted job. It wasn’t up to the service standards we expect when we do a job, which was a real problem.” And that’s when an idea was born. DTG Recycle decided to purchase a couple trucks and handle the service in-house, which would save time and money over using an outside provider. Things only progressed from there. “We had a couple customers ask if we could take over their sweeping. And we thought, why not? So, we went out and bought eight more trucks,” says Jackman. “It just made sense.” PREMIER STREET SWEEPING SERVICE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
DTG Recycle officially launched their sweeper program in September 2021. According to Jackman, the main focus is to give customers one resource for a multitude of services. continued on page 22 8 NO R TH AMERIC AN S WE E P E R MA R C H 2022
