Make Your Own Custom Recycling Signs

Knowing what materials to put where can be tricky. Make your own signs with our easy-to-use Sign Maker to help tenants recycle right! Choose images that closely reflect the materials generated and focus on items people tend to put in the wrong place. You can also download pre-made signs.

New Poster to Help "Take out the Trash"

Help your custodians correctly transfer materials from indoor bins to outdoor collection containers with a customized "Bags to Bins" Poster. Choose the appropriate bags, bins, and pick-up days for your site, then print your poster and hang in a prominent location (e.g. on the exit door to outside bins).

Mandatory Composting Expands Further

Come January, all jurisdictions participating in Alameda County’s Mandatory Recycling Ordinance will have organics collection requirements for businesses and multi-family buildings with five or more units. These are in addition to the rules for recyclable materials. For details on requirements in your city click here.

ENFORCEMENT LETTERS:
What They Mean

"Official Notification” This letter informs you about the requirements that apply to your business under the Mandatory Recycling Ordinance. This is the first step in our formal notification process and may or may not mean that you are in violation of the Ordinance.
“Notice of Violation” This letter is the second step in our enforcement process and is intended to act as a warning. The next step is a citation and a fine if non-compliance continues. To take steps to correct the violation click here.
