Alameda County 2005-2006 Recycling Guide

Oro Loma has a comprehensive curbside recycling program to recycle paper, glass and plastic containers, metal and empty aerosol cans, green waste, and used motor oil. But what if you need to recycle something Oro Loma cannot accept for recycling? Say you are remodeling your home and have construction debris, used appliances, plumbing fixtures, and old carpeting you would like to recycle. Where do you go? What about that garage full of audio tapes, books, CDs, exercise equipment, and clothes you haven't worn in years? And what about all those packing "peanuts" that now fill three large trash bags? This is where the Alameda County 2005-2006 Recycling Guide comes to the rescue!

The guide is full of information on how to practice the 4Rs-Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot-as well as resources for recycling every imaginable household item from aluminum to zippers. And the best part is: It's free to Alameda County residents by calling (877) STOPWASTE. An electronic version of the guide is also available in pdf format at www.stopwaste.org
