El Cerrito Recycling Program

The City of El Cerrito's Recycling Program provides leadership, planning, and implementation of comprehensive waste management services for the community, emphasizing waste prevention and reduction, reuse, recycling, and composting.

The Recycling Program provides several recycling collection services in the community: weekly residential curbside recycling collection; collection at private schools, public offices, businesses and apartments.

In February 2009, the City launched a new, easier curbside recycling program. Now residents and businesses can put all their recyclables in one container. No more separating!

For more information about the Curbside Recycling Program and Recycling Center, please follow the links in the navigation bar on the left.

If you have questions about garbage and greenwaste collection please contact East Bay Sanitary at 237-4321.
