Recycling
Recycling and reuse of materials extend the life of landfills, resulting in less use of natural resources, and improving the environment. That’s why the law requires all cities and counties in California have programs in place to keep as much trash out of landfills as possible. Local government has an ongoing obligation to meet a 50% diversion goal, meaning that no more than half the trash sent to landfills in 1990 (adjusted for population growth) should be dumped today.
Let’s work together to meet that goal.
Recycle, it’s good for the bottle. It’s good for the can. It’s good for all of us.
