RECYCLING INFO

What's left for the Refuse Container?
Non-recyclable garbage, food wastes, pet wastes, or anything with food residue left on it.
Consider this...if you recycle you not only help your community, but you can also save money by downsizing from a 90 gallon flip-top container to the less expensive 60 gallon container. After all, if you recycle properly, there is not much left to go into the garbage container! Going to the smaller 60 gallon container can save you $28 a year!

Call (626) 932-5575 for further information.
