SUCCESSFUL RECYCLING REQUIRES
TEAMWORK BETWEEN BFI AND THE CUSTOMER!
RECYCLING IS EASY
Setting up and maintaining a home recycling center
is fast and simple. The time required per household is
approximately two minutes per day. The amount of space required to store
recyclables for an entire month is about a 3’ x 3’ area in
a garage, on the porch, in the pantry, under the sink, in a corner of
the kitchen, etc.
BFI provides an easy way to recycle! BFI’s mixed recycling program
now allows you to place all acceptable materials in your grey recycling
container (see recycling list below). Remember, the
more you recycle, the less you will pay in trash fees and Salinas will
continue to be a cleaner and more environmentally friendly city. If you
ever have any recycling-related questions, please call 831-775-3840.
