Diversion/Recycle Tips
What is Recycling & Why You Should Recycle
Recycling is when certain materials are collected, processed and made reusable. While not all materials can be recycled, most can. Trash & waste generate toxic chemicals and greenhouse gasses from rubbish in landfill sites. Recycling helps the environment by reducing the overall amount of pollution caused by waste, landfills, etc.
How Does Recycling Work?
Green Waste of Tehama collects your recyclables in dumpsters at curbside, at multi-family buildings or at your business. We transport these recyclables to our local sorting facility, known as a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) where they are sorted, cleaned, compressed, and prepared for sale to be repurposed and reused – all the while keeping them out of the landfill.
Clean every item
Clean items are crucial to avoid contamination during transportation.
Waste Collection
When recycle dumpsters are full, they are then collected by Green Waste of Tehama at a curbside, multi-family dwelling, or business.
