3-Part Video Series in English, Spanish and Chinese

Under Alameda County’s Mandatory Composting and Recycling Ordinance, most businesses, institutions, and multi-family properties are required to have recycling and organics collection service. Businesses must also sort materials properly. A new series of videos is now available to help you set up a successful recycling and composting program.

Consider using the videos in staff trainings or emailing the links to employees, contractors, and/or tenants to view when they have a few spare minutes. The videos are a great refresher on the recycling rules and how to comply during day-to-day operations. Available in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
