Considering California’s stunning natural beauty, it is no surprise that California residents place a priority on recycling. Whether Yorba Linda or Huntington Beach, recycling is a valuable service to manage and maintain the natural resources of each local and region. Companies such as Waste Management Orange County make it easy and affordable for residents and commercial businesses to recycle and manage waste in ways that are helpful to the environment and affordable. In addition, they offer tips to help residents make the most of their recycling efforts. Suggestions include the following:
- Make recycling convenient by taking advantage of curbside recycling (where residents can put all recyclables into one bin), curbside green waste collection, and household hazardous waste collection.
- If the workplace doesn’t offer recycling, considering starting one to keep recycling convenient at work as well as at home.
- Donate clothing, toys, books, magazines, appliances, and furnishings to charities that can redistribute them.
- Buy items in bulk—this cuts down on excess packaging.
- Avoid using disposable items—for example, clean with a washable rag, shave with a rechargeable razor and eat on dishware rather than paper plates.
Many solid waste companies that work with large businesses and commercial and residential projects offer a number of recycling programs — these opportunities should be explored. Remember, residents are not limited to services provided by the city—they can always contact private companies for waste management and recycling needs. Waste Management Orange County, for example, provides Orange recycling services, as well as waste management, green waste, and recycling to many locations all over Orange County.
