On July 1, San Francisco-based Recology announced the retirement of Executive Vice President and COO Mark Arsenault. Arsenault worked at Recology for nearly 15 years, serving as the company’s COO for the past three years.
Following Arsenault’s retirement, Recology named Salvatore (Sal) Coniglio as the new executive vice president and COO. Since 2000, Coniglio has worked in the resource recovery industry providing oversite for collection, transfer station, material recovery facility, landfill and composting facility operations.
Since joining Recology in 2015, Coniglio has held various leadership positions. Most recently, he served as regional manager, overseeing many of the company’s collection and processing facilities in Central Valley, California.
As COO, Coniglio is now responsible for day-to-day operations and will work closely with cross-functional teams from across the company, Recology says.
“I am proud to join our executive team and help build on the success Recology has cultivated over the past 100 years,” Coniglio says. “Fostering our employee-ownership culture and maintaining our commitment to the communities we serve remain the essential building blocks of this success.”
Prior to joining Recology, Coniglio worked for Concord, California-based Garaventa Enterprises and Phoenix-based Republic Services. He earned a bachelor’s degree in leadership and organizational studies from Saint Mary’s College of California.
