Did you know that half of the refuse people generate is actually trash, and the rest is recyclable waste? In fact, the State of California believes so strongly that people can recycle half of their refuse that it has mandated that all municipalities divert 50% of their refuse from the landfills or face stiff penalties.
When you don’t recycle green waste and other recyclable items, landfills fill up quickly and new ones have to be built, adversely affecting the environment and increasing costs of waste disposal. When you do recycle, waste disposal costs are more manageable, landfills have capacity, and the world you live in is a cleaner, healthier place to be.
If you are a business or manage a large dwelling complex, contact Burrtec at 949-0500 in order to initiate free recycling services (white bin). Have your users place recyclables in your white recycling bin, and have your landscaper haul your green waste to a grass recycler.

You can also REUSE the green waste that is collected curbside throughout Upland. Free loose mulch made from green waste, both coarse and fine, is available on the last Saturday of every month at our HHW facility.
You can also grasscycle when mowing your lawn by letting your clippings fall back into the lawn to decompose, returning nutrients to your lawn, and increasing moisture retention.
