HOW TO RECYCLE AT DROP-OFF RECYCLING CENTERS
In an effort to keep materials clean and ready for recycling, please prepare your recyclables before heading to the nearest recycling center.
Please do not throw plastic bags into the bin. NO TRASH PLEASE!
Newspaper: Keep dry and clean. Do not mix with junk mail,
magazines, cardboard, brown paper bags, plastic bags or twine.
Cardboard: Keep dry and clean. Please break cardboard
boxes down to be as flat as possible. Do not mix with junk mail,
magazines, newspaper, plastic bags or twine.
Glass: Rinse containers and remove lids. Separate by color
(clear, brown, or blue/green). Tinted glass should be placed into
the blue/green glass container.
Aluminum Beverage Containers: Rinse containers and
flatten to reduce size.
Plastics: Look on the bottom of the plastic container for a number
inside a triangle. This number tells what kind of plastic the container is
made of. #1 – 7 plastic containers are recyclable. Rinse out containers
Sort containers by plastics number. Flatten containers as much as
possible and remove lids. Deposit the clean container into the correct
drop-off compartment. Containers which once stored motor
oil are not acceptable for recycling.
Steel Cans: Rinse containers, remove labels and, if possible, flatten
to reduce size.
Magazines and Junk Mail are also accepted at many of the
Community Drop-off Recycling Centers. Do not recycle any junk mail
with personal information unless shredded.

BUYBACK RECYCLING PROGRAMS
6
$
Residents have the option of "selling" their residential recyclable materials to a
Buy Back Center. These centers pay residents for their aluminum cans, glass and
plastic items with a noted CRV stamp on the label.
There are dozens of BUY BACK RECYCLING LOCATIONS throughout
the county. These centers primarily accept those items with a CRV (California
Redemption Value). Some sites will accept other items, such as newspaper, but
will not pay you for the materials. Remember to rinse out your bottles and cans
before turning them in for redemption.
WHAT IS CRV?
Beverage containers labeled CRV
(California Redemption Value) can be
redeemed at Certified Redemption Centers.
The CRV deposit is 5¢ per container under 24
oz. and 10¢ per container 24 oz. or more.
Most recycling centers pay by the pound
if you bring in a large load, so be sure to
have only CRV containers to get the highest
possible refund. You can request to be paid
on a per-container basis. If you bring in loads
of fewer than 50 per material type ask the
recycler to pay by count instead of by weight.
Call or visit the website for more information
about CRV Redemption Centers.

In our automobile-based culture, we deal with many
hazardous substances such as motor oil, antifreeze,
brake fluid, windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid
and batteries. In addition to these items, we also
have a variety of specialized cleaning products for
the tires, dashboard, and engine compartment. These
materials can endanger our health and environment
if improperly disposed.
Are You A
Do-It-Yourselfer?
Be sure to recycle
automotive fluids
properly.
The good news is that automotive products are
becoming easier to dispose of properly. An
increasing number of stores, service stations,
recycling centers and residential recycling programs
are accepting these materials.
Oil filters are also recyclable at
the oil collection sites maintained
by the Kern CountyWaste Management Department.
Check out the Oil Recycling Website at
www.calrecycle.ca.gov/usedoil/ for site
locations and more information.
Antifreeze is toxic, and is deadly to pets and
children if accidentally ingested. Handle this liquid
with care. In Metro Bakersfield it can be brought to the
Kern County Special Waste Facility at 4951 Standard
St., in East Kern County at 17035 Finnin St. at the
Mojave Airport, or at 3301 W. Bowman Rd. at the
Ridgecrest Landfill. For days and hours of operation,
look on our website at www.KernCountyWaste.com.
Batteries - Automotive/Truck/Tractor/
Equipment may be sold to scrap metal dealers.
They are often accepted at automotive parts stores
and service centers as well.
Tires, because of their
physical properties,
present health and
handling challenges to
disposal facility operators.
Whole tires are banned
from disposal at landfills
in California. Many tire
dealers will accept small
quantities for a nominal
fee. Landfills will also
accept tires separated
from general trash for a
per-tire charge or, if applicable, at a bulk rate.
For more recycling alternatives,
see the A - Z Section page 21.
Motor Oil gets dirty with use, but once cleaned
or re-refined, it can be used
again and again with the same
effectiveness as virgin oil. Used
motor oil must never be mixed with
any other liquid. Used motor oil is
accepted at many service stations,
auto parts stores, recycling centers
and at most Kern County landfills.
Some local jurisdictions even
have curbside used oil collection
programs. Check out the Oil
Recycling Website at www.
calrecycle.ca.gov/usedoil/

loads are SEPARATED and unloaded in
their designated recycling areas.
Examples of construction or
demolition material are:

• Concrete
• Counter coverings
• Doors and door frames
• Drywall/sheetrock
• Fencing materials

For Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Locations
see the A-Z section in this guide by MATERIAL TYPE.
What is CALGreen?
In an effort to reduce green house gas emissions and fight against climate change, the State
of California Green Building Code Requirements, known as CALGreen, took effect beginning
January 2011. The new building code mandates more energy efficiency, water efficiency and
resource conservation measures for all newly constructed commercial and residential projects.
The CALGreen Code is a comprehensive and uniform regulatory code that applies to all
residential, commercial, hospital and school buildings to ensure that every new building
in California is built using environmentally advanced construction practices which includes
construction waste diversion requirements as follows:
• Submit a Construction Waste Management Plan prior to construction for approval by the local
Building Department.
• Recycle and/or Reuse a minimum of 50% of construction & demolition waste.
• Recycle or Reuse 100% of tree stumps, rocks and associated vegetation and soils resulting
from land clearing.
12
For more information about these requirements, contact your City or County Building Department.
SPECIAL RECYCLING PROGRAMS - FREE!
Household Hazardous Waste
One-Day Collection Events
One-day collection events allow residents in the
outlying areas of Kern County to drop off household
hazardous waste at a location in their community.
These “Toxic Roundup” events are held periodically
throughout the year in the Kern Valley, Tehachapi,
Frazier Park and Lebec
communities. For
information check out
www.KernCountyWaste.
com or call (661) 8628900 for locations,
dates and times.
CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
Christmas Tree Recycling is a cooperative effort
between the Kern County Waste Management
Department, municipalities and community
groups to recycle trees. Check the website
www.kerncountywaste.com for drop-off locations
and tree pick up services.
TELEPHONE BOOK RECYCLING
The Telephone Book Recycling Program is
a cooperative effort between phone book
companies and the Department to collect
used phone books for recycling. Call (661)
862-8900 for more information.
For year-round recycling options see the charts on
pages 2, 4 and 5 of this guide.
RECYCLING OUTREACH & EDUCATION
Public education and community outreach are ongoing activities for the Waste Management Department.
Effective communication is a must to ensure efficient management of the waste stream. Staff members
participate in community and business events, street fairs and public speaking opportunities. Written materials,
face-to-face discussions, website activity, radio and television commercials, press conferences and media
events are important outreach tools to get the Waste Management message to the general public.
TOXIC ROUNDUPS
The Clean Kids Puppet Shows
From Lost Hills to Ridgecrest, the Clean Kids puppet shows provide an opportunity for students to become
teachers. Ten children use ventriloquist-sized puppets to deliver waste management messages to the rest of
the school. With more than a decade of school participation, this award-winning program has to be seen to
be appreciated. Once the puppets have been to a school, Principals want them back every year! Interested
educators can contact the Waste Management Department at (661) 862-8900 and reserve a spot!
We also believe that education, at the elementary school level, can have a lasting impact on the future of this
county. The Department, in partnership with the nonprofit organization Community Clean Sweep, provides an
interactive, environmental puppet show program to thousands of elementary-aged students each year.

ELECTRONIC WASTE (E-WASTE)
14
Computer Monitors and Televisions
Current state and federal regulations mandate that
cathode ray tubes (CRTs) found in computer monitors
and televisions cannot be disposed of in landfills.
However, there are several REUSE & RECYCLING
options available to Kern County residents:
• Televisions and computer monitors, still in working
condition, can be donated to local nonprofit
organizations to be reused.
• Non-working computer monitors and televisions are
accepted at all Kern County Disposal sites for recycling
at NO CHARGE.
• Non-working computer monitors and televisions are
also accepted for recycling at thrift shops and non-profit
organizations such as Goodwill Industries, Salvation
Army, Bakersfield Association of Retarded Citizens
(BARC) and others that have been authorized by the
state. (see A-Z Section – Electronics)
It is estimated that
6,000 computers
become obsolete
in California
everyday!
Less than 15%
of these are
recycled.
Other Electronics
The method to recycle other electronic waste such as
central processing units (CPUs), computer peripherals,
stereos, VCRs, copiers, and other circuit board containing
devices is constantly evolving. Please see the listing under
“Electronics” in the A-Z Section of this guide for
re-use/recycling locations. For the latest details on local
electronics handling options, check the Kern County Waste
Management website (www.kerncountywaste.com)
Computer Printer / Copier /
Fax Machine Supplies
Did you know that when your toner cartridge or inkjet
cartridge is empty, it can be refilled for less money than
buying a new one? There are many companies that recycle
cartridges, either paying outright for the cartridge or offering
a discount on the purchase of a refilled one. For a local
source, see page 27 under Toner Cartridges, or check the
Yellow Pages under Computer Supplies & Parts.
For other Cartridge Reuse and Recycling Programs visit
www.calrecycle.ca.gov/reducewaste/electronics/InkAndToner.htm
CLOSE THE LOOP - Help support recycling efforts by
buying recycled toner and inkjet cartridges. Recycled/
remanufactured cartridges often need to meet the same
standards as new cartridges.

JUNK MAIL
18
We all receive unsolicited mail. Each time you enter a contest, make a donation, take a survey, buy
something on credit or with a check, order products by mail or send in a subscription, there's a good
chance your name and address will be added to a mailing list. These lists are valuable commodities
regularly sold or traded.
Below are steps you can take to reduce junk mail. Be patient - it takes three to six months before you notice
a reduction in your junk mail. In the meantime, remember to recycle junk mail you receive.
1.) Call mail-order catalog companies- Most catalogs provide a telephone number for placing an
order; call this number and ask to be taken off their mailing list.
2.) Contact specific organizations or businesses- If you
receive unwanted flyers or mail, call the customer service department
of the organization or business responsible and request that your
name be removed from their mailing list.
3.) Return junk mail- Envelopes stamped "address correction
requested" or "return postage guaranteed" can be returned
unopened to the sender by writing "refused, return to sender" on
the envelope. DO NOT write this on mail without that special
notation; the post office will not return it to the sender.
4.) Get your name off national mailing lists and off
the lists of mailing list brokers- Write to the addresses
below and ask to be placed on a "suppress" file. Include a list of
your name and address in all the different ways it appears on your
junk mail. The Mail Preference Service places your name in the
suppress file for five years. The Direct Marketing Association sends
this list to its business subscribers four times a year. The address for
"Telephone Preference Service" will remove your name from many
telemarketers’ lists.

A-Z RECYCLING GUIDE
The guide focuses on "re-using" materials and recycling materials. Reuse
means the repeated use of a product or material in its original form. Recycle
means to break the material down to its original form and make it into entirely
new product. Reuse and Recycling are both important because both save
natural resources and reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.
