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.

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 Refund 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. www.bottlesandcans.com 1-800-RECYCLE WHICH BEVERAGE CONTAINERS CAN YOU REDEEM FOR CRV?

Included in this recycling category are stoves, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, and water heaters. WHITE GOODS can be recycled, FREE OF CHARGE, at all Kern County landfills and transfer stations. Appliances must be empty. However, before taking a working appliance to the landfill, contact your local thrift shop or used appliance dealer. Some appliance dealers may purchase and/or pick up appliances - in good condition. If you wish to donate the item, some non-profit organizations may have a use for working appliances and will pick them up for you. Call the non-profit organization for more information. For non-working appliances, there is an alternative to taking the appliance to the landfill. Some scrap metal dealers will buy appliances for the value of the metal. However, MANY do not take refrigerators, freezers, water coolers, or air conditioning units because these appliances contain freon, an ozone-depleting gas. METRO-BAKERSFIELD BULKY WASTE/LARGE ITEM CURBSIDE COLLECTION Residents in the Metro Bakersfield area can have their bulky items, including appliances, sofas, chairs and other large furniture pieces picked up at the curb - FREE OF CHARGE. To schedule your curbside pick-up call: City of Bakersfield - Solid Waste................................................ (661) 326-3114 Unincorporated Metro Bakersfield............................................. (661) 322-6863 Valley Garbage Service Area..................................................... (661) 323-8154 OTHER CITIES IN KERN COUNTY Some cities are offering their residents bulky item pickup at the curb. See page 1 of this guide for contact information for your city. For more recycling alternatives, see the A - Z Section page 19. KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE Kern County sponsors Bulky Waste Collection events throughout the County. Check the website www.kerncountywaste.com, or call the Kern County Waste Management Department at (661) 862-8900 for the date and location of the next event in your area. www.kerncountywaste.com BULKY WASTE/LARGE ITEM COLLECTION 9 KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE www.kerncountywaste.com 10 AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS 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. 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/centers for site locations and more information. 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/centers 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 CALL (661) 862-8922. 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 19. CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION MATERIAL Construction and demolition materials are accepted at most Kern County disposal sites for recycling, reuse, or disposal. When these materials are brought to disposal sites, a fee will be charged. A FEE DISCOUNT may be granted when materials such as lumber, concrete or metal loads are SEPARATED and unloaded in their designated recycling areas. Examples of construction or demolition material are: • Asphalt • Brick • Cabinetry • Concrete • Counter coverings • Doors and door frames • Drywall/sheetrock • Fencing materials • Wood/lumber • Metal • Packaging for construction material • Paneling • Plumbing fixtures • Roofing materials For Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Locations see the A-Z section in this guide by MATERIAL TYPE. 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. KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE What is CALGreen? www.kerncountywaste.com Construction or demolition material is non-hazardous building materials or debris (including packaging of same) resulting from the construction, remodeling, repair or demolition of homes, structures, buildings, garages etc. • Recycle or Reuse 100% of tree stumps, rocks and associated vegetation and soils resulting from land clearing. For more information about these requirements, contact your City or County Building Department. 11 KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE www.kerncountywaste.com ELECTRONIC WASTE (E-WASTE) 12 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. E-WASTE Monitors, CPUs, Laptops & Peripherals CLOSE THE LOOP Businesses Businesses with large volumes of Covered Electronic Waste which include televisions and computer monitors can visit the Electronic Product Management website at www. calrecycle.ca.gov/electronics/collection/recyclersearch. aspx for a current list of approved collectors and recyclers in Kern County.

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.

GREEN WASTE FACTS Kern County lawns can generate 300 to 400 pounds of grass clippings per 1000 square feet annually, depending on turf variety, environmental conditions, and lawn care practices. Doing the math, this means as much as eight tons of grass clippings are generated per acre each year! A home gardener can use grass clippings and yard waste to improve the quality of their lawn and garden soil. Three common methods are grasscycling, composting and mulching. • Grass-cycling is the natural recycling of grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. Grass clippings will quickly decompose, returning valuable nutrients to the soil. • Composting, nature’s own way of recycling, is the controlled decomposition of organic material such as leaves, twigs, grass clippings, and vegetable food waste. • Mulch consists of dead leaves, twigs, fallen branches and other plant debris which accumulate on the earth’s surface. Mulch is "chunkier" than compost. Mulch conserves moisture, and feeds plants, earth worms, microbes and other beneficial soil life by composting at the moist earth surface.
