E-Waste Recycling Is Easy and Convenient
In today’s rapidly advancing technological world, electronic devices are becoming obsolete faster than ever, leading to an unprecedented increase in electronic waste. Our facility welcomes a wide range of electronic devices for recycling. Through our partnerships, the region’s electronic waste is diverted from landfills and repurposed for environmental sustainability, ensuring the intelligent reuse of electronic components.
Certified CARE Partner
As a certified Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) partner, we diverted over 2 million pounds of carpet from the landfill in 2022 and 2023. Our efforts have ranked us as one of California’s top carpet recycling facilities for several years!
Mattress Recycle
By recycling mattresses, we significantly reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills, mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve natural resources. Our process aligns with environmental sustainability goals and contributes to a circular economy, where 80-90% of the mattresses are recycled and repurposed, extending their lifecycle and reducing our carbon footprint.
Rerouted for Repurposing
Tires that end up in landfills can take over 60 years to decompose. Every tire, whether from a car, truck, or tractor, with or without the rim attached, is repurposed and diverted from the landfill. In 2023 alone, we rerouted more than 180,000 pounds from the landfill. Our programs go beyond blue cart recycling; we are setting the pace for the region’s environmental conservation efforts.
