Recycling & Waste Collection Bin Sizes, Types & Options
For customers who need to recycle food waste and food-soiled paper in small weekly volumes, we offer 2-wheel automated collection carts. These collection carts include 32-gallon and 64-gallon sizes. Green waste and organics recycling collection bins, from 1-yard to 3-yard in size, are also available to customers.
All bins are fully labeled as to the type of material to be disposed of within them.
- Grey or black bins labeled for trash or wet waste.
- Blue bins labeled for dry mixed recycling.
- Green bins labeled for organics recycling (e.g.: food waste, food-soiled paper and yard/landscape trimmings).
- White bins reserved for and labeled for specific source recyclable commodities such as cardboard, paper or scrap metal.
Items That We Accept In Our Organics, Recycling & Trash Bins
We operate our own clean materials recovery facility (MRF) in Los Angeles, CA. Which enables us to sort and process the mixed single-stream recycling we pickup from our customers to maximize our recycling and landfill diversion rates.
Items that we accept in our mixed recycling bins include:
- Dry cardboard
- Chipboard and paper
- CRV beverage containers
- Glass jars and bottles
- Aluminum and tin cans
- Scrap plastics #1 through #5
- Small pieces of scrap metal
Please go to our Current Literature page to view and download bilingual pictorial flyers. Each will explain what we accept in each of our bins. Including items we won’t accept in either recycle or trash bins (and how to find out how to dispose of various hazardous materials).
Organic Waste Recycling
Organic waste composes 40% of waste material disposed of in California landfills. When organic materials decompose under the anaerobic conditions of sanitary landfills, methane (CH4) gas is generated and escapes into the earth’s atmosphere. Methane is the 2nd most prevalent greenhouse gas, next to carbon dioxide (CO2) causing climate change.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, methane accounts for 10% of our nation’s greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. “Pound for pound, the comparative impact of CH4 on climate change is 25 times greater than CO2 (carbon dioxide) over a 100-year period.” By reducing and recycling their organic waste, Californians can reduce methane gas emissions and improve the environment and air quality.
Organics waste recycling is not just another way to conserve landfill space. Rather, it is a state requirement hat municipal sanitation departments and commercial waste haulers have to offer and provide to protect our air and our environment. This is an existential quality of life issue that everyone has to commit to resolving together. As well as be willing to change existing personal behaviors and organizational practices.
Organics recycling may appear costly and difficult to implement and perform for some organizations, businesses and property owners. However, American Reclamation, Inc. can assist with and provide you with the options you need.
