We are also responsible for the collection of solid waste (garbage); collection of leaf and yard trimmings and green cart organics; collection, processing, and marketing of blue box recyclables; collection and disposal of household hazardous waste; provision of backyard composters and all centralized composting activities of the City and the promotion and education of all 3R's (reduce, reuse, recycling) activities.
