Important Announcements

Attention: New Compost and Recycling Law

Effective January 1, 2022, a new California law (SB 1383) requires that compostable materials, be kept out of landfills—including food scraps, paper, cardboard, and plant trimmings—to prevent the production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. In Alameda County, the law is implemented under the Organics Reduction and Recycling Ordinance.

Businesses, institutions, nonprofits, and multi-family properties must subscribe to compost and recycling collection service, set up color-coded and labeled indoor bins, ensure proper sorting, and educate employees, contractors and tenants about the law at least annually. Certain food generating businesses must also donate surplus edible food to food recovery (rescue) organizations or services instead of composting it.

Residents are required to subscribe to curbside composting and recycling collection service and sort materials into the correct containers.

NEW!
Curbside Textile Recycling
in January, April, July & October


All donations will go to Recycle For Change, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that collects and recycles used clothing and shoes to protect the environment and support sustainable development work across the globe. Want more information go to Recycleforchange.org.

Change your Clothes, Change the World

At Recycle for Change we believe that in order to secure a healthy and prosperous future for all people, we must protect and preserve our planet’s natural resources and foster cooperation across cultures.

Collectively, we all have the power to preserve a significant amount of resources by reusing and recycling textiles. To make it easy, we offer community-wide collection boxes and curbside pickup events to do just that.​

All the clothing collected by Recycle for Change is sold to second-hand clothing dealers and graders both in the USA and abroad. Along the way, many jobs are created in the used clothing business.

We mobilize people and resources to support important sustainable development in the poorest parts of the world. We support organizations engaged in community-based sustainable development work in the US and abroad.

The new trucks contain particulate matter (PM) filters that trap microscopic solids or liquid droplets that are so small that they can be inhaled and cause serious health problems. When you see the AVI trucks around Dublin, you’ll know that they are now helping to improve the Air Quality Index (AQI) to keep the Tri-Valley outdoor air clean.
