Charles Kamenides has been an active Board Director and Vice President at NRC for the past several years and has been involved in many facets of the organization including administration, finance, fund development, and membership. He is also the formal Chair of the past two Recycling Congress’, bringing this great event back for our membership.

Charles brings over 20 years of professional solid waste management to NRC focused on waste, recycling and organics operations, business management, program and policy development. His experience in the municipal sector gives him a unique perspective of both government processes and goals as well as field operations, private sector waste and recycling companies and customer service/ outreach and education objectives.

His accomplishments include achieving high diversion goals, creating municipal resolutions, developing PAYT rate structures, every-other-week trash collection programs, curbside organics programs, community recycling centers, and working with city councils, state recycling organizations, local recycling organizations, regional boards and commissions.

Taking resource management one step further, Charles was instrumental in the design and construction of a Renewable Natural Gas fueling system, in which methane gas from the city’s wastewater treatment plant is captured and made into fuel for the solid waste collection vehicles. This system reduces the reliance and costs associated with carbon fuels and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Charles is based in beautiful Colorado and has been married 32 years, has two children and their dog, Korra. His interests include music, cycling and travel.
