Perspective
The company was founded in 1974 by Bernard and Maura Buckley,[2] It is headed by their sons Michael and Brian Buckley.[1] The company announced 100 new jobs in 2019, bringing the total employees in the firm to 600 people.[3]
The company took over the waste collection business from South Dublin County Council in 2011,[4] making it one of the largest household recycling companies in Ireland.[4] In 2012, it took over the Dublin County Council waste collection[5][6] and it serves over 500,000 customers in 12 local authorities in Ireland, as well as operating renewable business interests in 15 countries in Europe and Asia.[4]
In 2013 directors Michael and Brian Buckley were found guilty of failing to control emissions and odours coming from their main storage facility in Dublin, and sentenced to pay a fine along with legal costs and a contribution to two charities.[7]
A 14-week industrial dispute in 2014 over pay cuts and redundancies ended with a settlement between the workers and the company,[1][8] Greyhound workers' elected representatives and the SIPTU organisers involved in the dispute negotiated an agreement with management.[8]
In August 2016 Greyhound bought the domestic waste collection businesses from its rival Panda and Greenstar in a merger process.[9] As a provider of recycling in Ireland the company announced plans in May 2019 to invest €35 million in its commercial division over the following year.[3]
