Why Recycle Right?

Our recycling programs are designed to manage specific items such as bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard. Putting other items in the recycling container contaminates it and often it goes to the landfill.

Also, the State of California has recently passed a law requiring proper sorting of organics – such as food and yard trimmings – to keep them out of the trash. Sorting organics properly is good for the environment, and less waste goes to landfills.
