In 2015, a career in wind energy brought the Owens family to Canyon, Texas from Corpus Christi where recycling was a common way life. After seeing the benefits of recycling, it was frustrating for us not having an option to recycle. Ryan began his master's degree in engineering technology with a focus in renewable energy at West Texas A&M. Ryan decided to focus his research on recycling. Although the program did not recognize recycling as a renewable energy, Ryan was able to provide the research and the data to encourage the introduction of recycling as a renewable energy.

Several years later Ryan, took a promotion in the wind industry moving the family to Lamesa, Texas. A couple of years after making Lamesa, Texas our home, the Owens family decided to take a leap and provide a curbside recycle service to West Texas and Lamesa being the perfect center hub to provide recycling to the Midland and Lubbock areas.
