RESIDENTIAL RECYCLING SERVICE

Curbside recycling collection service is provided to residential customers that reside within the city limits of Vacaville and in the Solano County area surrounding Vacaville. Carts are available in 32- and 96-gallon sizes. For convenience, blue recycling carts are for comingled recyclables – allowing customers to place their recyclable materials in just one bin, rather than separating each material type into separate bins.

Recycling carts should be placed at the curb each week along with your gray garbage and green organics cart. If you need an additional blue recycling cart, or would like to change the size of your cart, contact Recology Vacaville Solano at (707) 448-2945.

CRV REDEMPTION CENTERS

California Redemption Value (CRV) recycling centers can reimburse you for the deposit you pay on many beverage containers in the State of California. (Eligible cans, for example, are labeled "CA CASH REFUND.")

When bringing your cans and/or bottles in for CRV redemption you will be paid at a minimum per pound rate. If you have 50 or less cans or bottles and they are all of the same material type, you can request a per unit rate to receive the same CRV redemption value that you paid upon purchase of the container. For more information contact CalRecycle at 1-800-RECYCLE (1-800-732-9253) or go to www.bottlesandcans.com.
