Pioneer Recycling Services, LLC (PRS) is a full service recycling company which offers processing services for the sorting of comingled residential and office recyclables, loose and baled as well as grade separated recyclables for customers throughout both Washington and Oregon states. Our processing facilities have been in continuous operation since 2006.

Using state of the art equipment including mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and optical machines, and a crew of dedicated staff, PRS operates processing facilities in Tacoma, WA and Clackamas (Portland), OR. Each facility has ample dock space, two balers, two truck scales, two loaders and multiple forklifts to insure quick and reliable service for customers both large and small.

Pioneer Recycling Services, LLC formed in 2014 to purchase and operate two existing Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) in the Pacific Northwest from SP Fiber of Dublin, GA.

In December 2021, Tommy Crenshaw (CEO) and Greg Ryan (COO), with private equity backing from Delos Capital and The Silverfern Group, purchased the business from the founders, Steve Frank and Dave Claugus. Pioneer Recycling provided seamless service throughout this transition. For the last 18 months of the previous ownership until today, Tommy and Greg have led the day-to-day operations. They bring many years of recycling industry accomplishments, coupled with success from a diverse industry background.

Pioneer Recycling is managed with the key objective of providing both cost effective and consistently reliable service. To that end, the ownership has continually made capital investments in cutting-edge technology to remain the low-cost, highest-quality recyclables provider.

Our company is known for being “easy to work with” and for building strong, authentic business relationships which ensure everyone’s success—ownership, team members, sales customers, and supply customers.
