Athens Services serves dozens of communities across Southern California, attributing its growth and success to its 1,700 workers who reflect the region’s diversity and represent various cultural, ethnic, professional and educational backgrounds.
Athens Services is growing strong, recently expanding into Ventura County and being awarded an exclusive 15-year contract to provide waste, recyclables and organics services as well as street-sweeping services in Thousand Oaks.
“This is an historic move for Athens as we expand into Ventura County,” says Communications Specialist Bailey Kinsolving. “We are thrilled to be the new waste diversion and recycling company for Thousand Oaks! And we look forward to providing the highest level of service to area residents and businesses.”
Athens’ roots in Southern California run deep. Dedicated to serving and supporting local communities since 1957, Athens’ offices, customer service, facilities and employees are all local, with many employees residing in the communities they serve. The same will be true in Thousand Oaks.
Athens’ new Sustainability Center providing local customer service at 2251 Thousand Oaks Blvd is looking to hire local employees. Stay tuned for upcoming area hiring events.
Innovation, Technology & Community Investment
Athens is one of the most innovative waste diversion and recycling companies in Southern California. The company invests in the communities it serves by employing cutting-edge technology and infrastructure that drive environmental stewardship forward as well as investing in their people, who they view as their most important asset.
“We empower our staff to grow professionally,” Kinsolving says. “They are an important part of helping the company move forward in providing the best possible service to our customers.”
Family owned and operated, Athens takes pride in taking care of its employees and focuses on their safety every day. The company combines the resources and infrastructure of a national hauler with the service and dependability of a local, family business.

Believing that a diverse workforce enriches employees’ lives and strengthens company culture, Athens welcomes input from different perspectives.
“Our goal is to ensure that everyone at every level in the organization feels heard, valued and encouraged to contribute,” says Kinsolving, adding, “Promoting diversity and inclusion empowers our staff and makes Athens a stronger, more competitive company. Employee input enables us to explore and adopt innovative strategies that keep Athens ahead of the competition.”
