Commercial Recycling and Green Waste

Effective July 1, 2012, all commercial and multi-family dwellings (MFDs) producing more than 4 cubic yards of garbage per week must recycle under California State Law AB 341. If your business or MFD produces 4 or more cubic yards of garbage, you must recycle appropriate materials. Recycling services through the City of El Cerrito are already included in your garbage rates.

Commercial Green waste collection is now available to assist commercial and MFD customers to meet the mandated commercial recycling requirements. Contact us for a consultation on how to take advantage of this service.

In order to ease this transition, the City of El Cerrito is offering free recycling consultation to interested businesses and MFDs. Please contact us at green@ci.el-cerrito.ca.us or 510.215.4350 to set up a free consultation, verify your business’ or MFD’s requirements, or to set-up recycling services.
