Recycle Track Systems names new chief technology officer

Recycle Track Systems (RTS), headquartered in New York, has appointed Allyn L. Shaw as its new president and chief technology officer (CTO). RTS works with local, independent haulers to outfit vehicles with proprietary routing technology designed to streamline collection routes and communicate with individual pickup sites.

In this newly created role, Shaw will oversee the expansion of RTS’ technology platform as the company continues to grow. He also will focus on enabling end-to-end technology and operations, including software, data management, mobility and communication technologies, to support scalability and innovation.

Shaw previously served as chief operations officer of Global Information Security at Bank of America (BOA), delivering end-to-end technology and operating services across the company supporting 66 million customers worldwide. At BOA, he led the integration of technology initiatives. 

“We are thrilled a proven leader like Allyn is joining the RTS executive leadership team,” says RTS CEO Greg Lettieri. “Allyn’s experience gives him a unique perspective on how workforce strategy, operations and technology intersect to increase sustainability efforts and operational efficiencies for our customers. At RTS, we strive to uphold our core values of service, transparency and sustainability, and Allyn will be critical in helping the company achieve those goals.”

RTS recently completed a second round of funding earlier this year and has rapidly grown its customer base in the last year, according to the company. RTS also has started supporting smart-city initiatives after recently expanding into the municipality sector, where its digital solutions can play a significant role in advancing city operations and connecting local, independent haulers to the community.

“I am eager and enthusiastic to join a team that is changing the way we think about waste and challenging the industry as a whole each and every day,” Shaw says. “RTS has the vision, technology and commitment to manage waste more responsibly and protect our environment while providing the tools and offering the highest levels of service commitment to do so. I’m proud to join the leadership team to further this mission.”
