Rubicon announces multiyear extension agreement with Wood Residential

Rubicon Technologies Inc., a Lexington, Kentucky-based digital marketplace for waste and recycling and a provider of software-based products for businesses and governments, has signed a three-year extension agreement with Wood Residential, an Atlanta-based company specializing in the development, construction and management of multifamily communities across the United States. In this extended agreement, Rubicon will provide waste and recycling services to help Wood Residential reach its sustainability targets.

Rubicon says its RubiconConnect platform has been deployed across 51 of Wood Residential’s multifamily properties. As Wood’s preferred partner for waste and recycling—with a focus on waste removal, single-stream recycling and cardboard recycling—Rubicon will bring its network of more than 8,000 hauler and vendor partners to bear in support of Wood’s continued progress toward its goals.

“We are thrilled to announce this extension agreement with Wood Residential,” says Tom Owston, Rubicon’s interim chief commercial officer. “Waste and recycling education starts at home and in continuing our partnership with Wood Residential, we are able to not only help them to lay the groundwork for ending waste at their properties, but we can also help to educate their residents on proper recycling practices along the way.”

Wood Residential is a full-service property management company that operates communities developed both by Wood Partners and third-party developers. The company says that, for three years running, it has ranked first nationally for online reputation in the J Turner ORA Power Rankings (Division III). Wood Residential is an affiliate company of Wood Partners, a group of limited liability companies.

“Like Rubicon, Wood Residential is focused on diverting waste away from landfills and into recycling streams,” says Jaren Miller, vice president of procurement and facilities at Wood Residential. “Rubicon is continuing to help us achieve that goal, and we are excited to see where this partnership leads us in the future.”
