Jay is a third generation Oakland resident, and a business
owner in West Oakland since 1982. After ten years running retail businesses
in Oakland, he chose to switch to the recycling industry and purchased
Alliance Recycling in 1992. His decision to do this was influenced by Jay’s
desire to be of service to the disenfranchised, and the community as
a whole; he saw recycling not only as a good business opportunity, but
as a way to provide income for the needy and benefit the environment.
He has since consistently contributed to numerous educational and community
enhancement causes that won him a Special Recognition award from the
West Oakland Community Association in 2000 – “in recognition of his
long-standing dedication to West Oakland”.
Jay is married with three teen-age children who actively participate
in the recycling business and the support of the community.
Bonnie is the heart of the office at Alliance Recycling. As office manager she overseas client relations, which she handles with just the right amount of sass, heart and good humor. She has dedicated more than 17 years to the business of recycling at Alliance and has come to be an invaluable member of the Alliance family.
Yolanda, or “Yoli” as she is affectionately called by fellow work mates, is the friendly face behind the cash register.
Maurice and Rita keep things safe and orderly at Alliance. Maurice is in charge of in-house traffic control, and Rita is in charge of maintenance. They’ve been married for 25 years and came to know Alliance as recycling clients well before they started working for the company. They are both proud to be working for the company for more than 10 years now.
Paul has been working as security guard for Alliance for more than four years. He keeps watch of the property and neighborhood as he patrols from 32nd and Peralta to Magnolia off 32nd streets. His main objective is to be on the watch for any disruptions and maintain neighborly relations.
Starting August, 2009, seven additional security guards started patroling the neighborhood - that is, within a 3 block radius from Alliance Recycling center.
