The City is required by State law (AB 939) to divert 50 percent of the waste materials generated in Elk Grove from landfill disposal through source reduction, recycling and composting programs.
Business and Multi-Family Recycling...
Commercial and multi-family properties generate more than half the waste disposed of in California. A significant amount of this waste is easily recyclable.
Beginning July 1, all businesses, non-residential properties, multi-family properties (with five or more units), and single-family residential properties managed by an association or other organization, that subscribe to four cubic yards per week or more of garbage collection service in the City of Elk Grove, will be required to implement an on-site recycling program.
The program brochure and other information are available at the Integrated Waste website: www.egtrashrecycleservices.org. Free recycle bins are available to Elk Grove businesses and multi-family properties, as supplies last.
The Business and Multi-Family Recycling Program will contribute to the City’s efforts to comply with State law, and will contribute to the City’s commitment to environmental protection, greenhouse gas reduction, and energy independence.
