Curbside Recycling in the District
The
District, in cooperation with its trash collection contractor, Waste Management
of the Inland Empire, offers free curb side recycling in conjunction with
the regular trash pickup. Participation
is simple: call WM at 800-423-9986 and ask for a
container. WM will deliver a 96-gallon wheeled container with a distinctive
Recycling label.
Place all of your recyclable trash in the container and take it to the foot
of your drive along with your regular trash containers on Monday night.
You benefit
by effectively doubling your trash container capacity at no additional charge.
Recyclable material will be picked up in a separate truck on Tuesday, the
normal trash pickup day. See the list below for a list of recyclable
and non-recyclable
materials.
Waste Management funds this free service by transporting the material to a central processing facility where the materials are sorted, primarily by hand. The sale of recovered commodities (glass, paper, cardboard, steel, aluminum, etc.) pays for the cost of collection.
