What is the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center?
The SBWMA and the Member Agencies own the Shoreway Recycling and Disposal Center in San Carlos. This shared facility serves as a central location for receiving, transferring and/or processing all garbage, recyclables, yard trimmings and food scraps collected in the SBWMA service area. Without this facility, collection vehicles would have to travel much greater distances, resulting in higher collection costs for the ratepayer, more pollution and traffic congestion. This facility also houses a corporation yard for the 250+ collection trucks that service the SBWMA Member Agencies.
