As you enjoy twinkling lights, decked-out trees, gift exchanges, and festive gatherings, remember that recycling adds cheer and reduces waste. Here are smart ways to keep our landfills light and bright:
- Cardboard castles: Transform leftover delivery boxes into a mini fortress or simply flatten them for recycling. Use a local drop-off location to save space in your trash.
- Beverage bounty: Gather your plastic, glass, and aluminum containers. Take them to a buyback center to reclaim deposits. Check which items qualify to ensure you maximize your returns.
- Electronic sleigh ride: Free up space by recycling old computer equipment by visiting the landfill for free disposal or opt for a convenient doorstep pickup. Check our pickup program for details.
- Battery bonanza: Safely dispose of old batteries at designated Placer County locations, including Roseville. Ensure to tape the battery ends to avoid sparks.
- Evergreen recycling: When your holiday tree needs to go, cut it into sections for green waste pickup, drop it off at a local site, or arrange for a Boy Scout troop collection.
- Grease the wheels: Keep fats, oils and grease out of the drain. Store them in a sealable container, like an old mayo jar, and we'll pick it up for free.
