Who We Are
Our Story
It all got started in 2018, when Kelley McReynolds- then the location manager of Mid America Recycling’s Lincoln location- purchased his employer’s facility outright, creating Green Quest Recycling. With a career of recycling management under his belt, Kelley saw an opportunity to expand the facility into what it is today.

But we’re not just Lincoln’s recycling experts. We’re parents and grandparents, dog lovers, and your neighbors down the street. We’re proud to have former U.S. service members on our team. We love the city of Lincoln, and it’s our pleasure to help keep it a greener place to live.
Kelley McReynolds
Owner, President
Originally from Des Moines, Kelley began his recycling career in 1995. He quickly moved up the ranks and has managed multiple plants around the country. These include Des Moines, New Orleans, and Houston. In 2014, he joined the Mid America Recycling team and became the General Manager/Managing Partner of its Lincoln NE facility. Four years later, he purchased the Lincoln facility and re-named it Green Quest Recycling. Kelley’s business keeps him busy, but he still somehow finds time to practice martial arts, play with his 3 pups, spend time with his son and new daughter-in-law, and head to Florida every year to check on his parents.
