Take it to a one-stop facility
MarBorg operates two ABOP Recycling Facilities (ABOP stands for Antifreeze, Batteries, Oil and Paint).
The Santa Barbara facility is located at 725 Cacique Street, and the Goleta facility is located at 20 David Love
Place. The ABOP facilities provide a FREE, convenient, one-stop location for recycling. Residents can also
recycle household hazardous waste items,such as, fluorescent lights, compact discs, cell phones, computers,
televisions, and other electronics.
The ABOP facilities also accept basic recyclable items such as glass, aluminum, cardboard, scrap metal,
tin cans, and plastic. ABOP is open six days a week, Monday through Saturday, 9 am – 4 pm.
