This new recycling program is easy to use and it benefits both Daly City and Colma by increasing the amount of recycling collected versus trash.  And the best part - by recycling more, you may be able to save money on your trash bill.  This program is good for both our cities and our checkbooks!

You should have received a newsletter in the mail explaining the new program.  If you'd like to receive a copy please click here to download or call (650) 756-1130 to have a newsletter mailed to you.

blue cart - green container

How "Single-Stream Recycling" works:

• You'll have the choice of a 65 or 95 gallon blue recycling cart or a larger, green container ranging in size from 1-6 cubic yards.  No source separating is necessary - all acceptable materials are collected in the same container.
  
  
• An Allied Waste Services Recycling Representative will work with you to determine the appropriate sized recycling container/number of service days for your business or multi-family community.  A free, walk-through audit will help you find everything recyclable! Please call (650) 756-1130 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
  
  
• Free, desk side boxes are available to Allied Waste commercial customers.  All single-stream recycling customers receive fact sheets and posters educating your staff or residents how to properly recycle.
