How will the curbside recycling program work?
The City Council has approved a new three-cart refuse and recycling service that entails residential customers selecting a new trash collection cart. Currently, Pleasanton residents put both trash and recyclable material into one collection cart, and recyclable material is sorted from refuse at a Material Recovery Facility (MRF). When the new program begins in the fall of this year, residents will put trash and recyclables into separate collection carts. This simple action will capture more recyclable material and help Pleasanton meet the Alameda County Waste Management Authority’s 75% waste diversion target for Alameda County cities.
