Social Media Director

Tracy Bugh founded Civil Agents to educate and activate the public around resource conservation with her signature visual communications and marketing expertise.

It began with a frustrating online search for clear recycling rules which revealed that she’d been recycling wrong and propelled her to tackle waste. After having spent two decades as a Creative Director providing award-winning content to partners that included DIRECTV, Pepsi, and the NFL, Tracy pivoted her career to create Recycle by City; a national platform for local recycling information in cities throughout the country.

As partnerships with community recycling organizations grew, brands approached with the desire to optimize their corporate citizenship and better communicate their waste policies. Tracy now works alongside both corporate sustainability and community leaders to help increase awareness and engagement with their waste and resource management goals.

Tracy is a certified TRUE Zero Waste Advisor and Master Recycler, and has been asked to speak at numerous national waste conferences.
