CalRecycle is California’s Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery. It is responsible for organizing recycling, waste reduction, and material reuse programs for both individuals and businesses or government entities across the state. Some of the most commonly recycled materials include plastics, metals, and glass. These can be deposited in personal bins for municipal pick up or brought straight to waste management facilities. However, CalRecycle also runs programs to help Californians recycle more difficult materials like tires, motor oil, and electronic waste. These items may need to be directly delivered to designated processing facilities. CalRecycle’s goal is to move California toward a fully circular economy, conserve natural beauty, and allow future generations to enjoy long, healthy lives.
