About Us

Our History

The birth of Shimar Recycling came about when recycling educator Meredith Marley, entrepreneur/investor Will Marley, and a skeleton crew joined forces to take over the one-time thriving commercial recycling department of Durham’s SunShares Recycling in September of 1997. 

Still locally owned, the mission remains the same: Provide a professional and affordable recycling collection service for the Triangle’s businesses and institutions, with an emphasis on customer satisfaction. Shimar is a recycling coordinator for our clients. We help them optimize their recycling system and maximize the potential benefits of our service. We look at the big picture reviewing cost savings, conservation of natural resources, and contributing to the development of a sustainable community. In addition, Shimar provides a work environment that is safe, fun, and provides opportunities for our employees to grow on a personal and professional level.

Shimar Recycling is an equal opportunity employer.
