SRS Distribution entered a multi-year agreement with Rubicon Technologies, a digital marketplace for waste and recycling and provider of software-based solutions. As part of the partnership, Rubico will bring its suite of cloud-based software products, and the power and scope of its network to more than 8,000 hauler and vendor partners to provide scalable waste, recycling, and sustainability solutions to SRS in support of the company’s environmental and business goals.
Rubicon’s RUBICONConnect product will be deployed across all SRS locations, assisting with waste and recycling programs and delivering enhanced sustainability data, analytics, and reporting capabilities, according to the company.
“We are thrilled to announce this new multi-year agreement with SRS Distribution,” Nate Morris, chairman and CEO of Rubicon, said in a news release. “Like Rubicon, SRS has been a leader in supporting the growth of their customers’ businesses all across America, and the entire SRS team understands the power that companies possess to make positive changes in our world. We are excited to work alongside them as they continue to build their business and take the next steps on their sustainability journey.”
Rubicon partners with businesses and governments across the globe to advance its mission through zero-waste, landfill diversion, and smart city solutions, according to the company. The company’s cloud-based products help waste collection companies digitize their operations, while equipping municipalities and businesses with the tools to adopt a fully digital model, in service of initiating or growing their waste and recycling management capabilities.
“At SRS we understand the value and importance of corporate responsibility, and the positive impact our company can have on communities everywhere,” Ryan Nelson, CFO of SRS, said. “Working with Rubicon will help us become more efficient with our waste and recycling programs, support our growing sustainability initiatives, and help us find new ways to better serve our customers.”
McKinney, Texas-based SRS Distribution is a portfolio company of Leonard Green & Partners and Berkshire Partners. SRS operates a family of distinct local brands encompassing more than 590 locations across 44 states.
