Marvin Acey

Marvin grew up in Murray, Utah, a suburb south of Salt Lake City. He learned early to turn his hobbies into income, and his first job was at Mick Riley Golf Course. This job provided not only a wage but also free golf and access to some great people. Marvin enjoys camping, hunting, golf, mountain biking, and spending time outdoors with his family.

After marrying his wife Kim, Marvin took a job as a driver at a small recycling company called Utah Recycling. He figured this would be an excellent job to hold while he finished school. Marvin got to see many different aspects of this business as he worked his way through school and started his family. Through some hard times and long hours, Marvin attained his degree from the University of Phoenix in 1997 in Business Administration while still working for Utah Recycling.

In 1999, Allied waste acquired Utah Recycling; to Marvin, this didn’t seem like a good fit. Some key members of management had plans to start up their own business. Marvin was fortunate to find a way into this group, and they formed Rocky Mountain Recycling in late 1999. This business had its ups and downs, but after nearly 21 years was sold to CellMark, with whom they worked in partnership for many years. Marvin stayed on to be the General Manager of the new Rocky Mountain Recycling Services Company.
