Recycling is an important part of integrated services offered by C&S Waste Solutions.

We strongly encourage all of our customers to practice the three R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Waste reduction and recycling is beneficial for a number of reasons:

Saves natural resources
Saves valuable landfill space
Provides local jobs
Creates new products

Recycling can save money for customers:

In most cases, your bill is based on the size and/or frequency of collection of your garbage cart or bin. The more material that is recycled means less garbage disposal.

In California, State law (AB 939) requires each county and city to achieve a 50% diversion rate. In order to achieve this mandate, C&S Waste Solutions offers Single-Stream recycling. It is easy and convenient. All recyclable materials are placed in your blue cart or bin.
