Local Company Greasecycle Named One of Fastest Growing Small Businesses in America

NEW YORK, August 15, 2018 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Greasecycle is No. 3052 on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

According to Founder and President Dylan Gehrken, 32, “When I graduated from UVA in 2008, I looked around at a lot of really smart people going into Medicine, Law, and Finance. I thought it would be great to do something that all these smart people weren’t doing. As a result, I resolved to start a company in a space that is very dirty and almost embarrassing. So I set out to find the dirtiest smelliest job out there, and discovered the amazing world of used cooking oil and restaurant grease trap pumping and recycling. It is a dirty, unglamorous job. But we create a lot of value for our restaurant-partners, we source waste material into compost and biofuel, and we protect local streams and waterways. On top of this, it is a lot of fun!”
