SAVE MONEYRECYCLINGREQUIREMENTS

WHAT TO RECYCLEBy recycling, you may save money - you may be able to get a smaller garbage dumpster or reduce the number of times your dumpster needs to be emptied. Call around for the best prices! Visit www.sacramentoswa.com for a list of service providers.

Recycling conserves resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It

extends the life of our landfills and helps create a healthy environment for our community and future generations.

Businesses that subscribe to four (4) or more cubic yards of waste per week must have a recycling program.

For more information on the State Business Recycling Law and local SWA Ordinance, please call the Environmental Management

Department at (916) 875-8550 or visit www.sacramentoswa.com.
