Media Release: Temporary change to recycling service in response to COVID-1

To reduce employee exposure to COVID-19, Recology is requiring all extra recyclable material to be inside of the Recology cart in order to be serviced. The following changes are effective immediately:  

• Cardboard must be broken down to fit completely within your blue recyclables cart

• Any cardboard outside of your cart will no longer be picked up by our drivers

• Extra clothes/textiles must be contained within a clear plastic bag and placed inside of the blue recyclables cart

 Please place extra recyclables inside of your cart and call customer service at 831.636.7500 and we will return to service your container at no extra cost, within 48 hours.   

We will continue to pick up batteries, used oil jugs & filters (in Recology provided receptacles) left with your blue recyclables cart.  
This temporary change will stay in effect until further notice.
