Waste Management and the City of Santa Clarita are working together to help residents get back to the basics of recycling with Recycle Often. Recycle Right.℠ By recycling properly, you help materials get to their next best use, which in turn saves natural resources and energy. Together we can help protect the environment and do the right thing for our family, friends and community.
To get started, each residential customer is provided with a wheeled cart for recyclable materials. Just follow the guidelines below and then place the cart at the curb on your regularly scheduled service day each week. For more tips on how to recycle, visit www.keepingSCVclean.com.
Step 1: Recycle all empty bottles, cans, glass, cardboard and paper
Step 2: Keep food and liquid out of the recycling
Step 3: Keep recyclables loose and return loose plastic bags to participating retailers. Look for collection bins at the front of the store for plastic bags and plastic film.
Recycling Tips:
- Make sure containers are empty of food or liquid contents and dry
- Labels are okay; no need to peel or rinse
- Flatten cardboard and paperboard boxes to make room for more recyclables
- Paper includes: copy paper, phone books, magazines, newspaper inserts, and flyers
