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. Only #1 and #2 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.

BUYBACK RECYCLING PROGRAMS
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 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.

BULKY WASTE/LARGE ITEM COLLECTION
APPLIANCES/WHITE GOODS
Large household appliances, also called "whitegoods" are considered bulky
waste. 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.
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 sponsors Bulky Waste Collection events throughout
the County. Check the website www.co.kern.ca.us/wmd, or call the Kern County Waste Management
Department at (661) 862-8900 for the date and location of the next event in your area.
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.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT

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 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 or demolition material is nonhazardous building materials or debris
(including packaging of same) resulting
from the construction, remodeling, repair or
demolition of homes, structures, buildings,
garages etc.
Architectural Salvage – doors, windows,
decorative moldings, railings, brick, light &
plumbing fixtures can be sold or commissioned
to an Architectural Salvage House. Look in the
Yellow Pages under "Architectural Salvage".
Antique Dealers – certain decorative
elements (moldings, medallions), & light fixtures
can be donated, commissioned or sold to a local
Antique Dealer.
Habitat for Humanity – New, unused home
construction materials can be donated to the
Kern County chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Construction & Demolition Recyclers
Check out the A-Z section of this Recycling
Guide by material type or in the Yellow Pages of
this directory.
California Materials Exchange
"CalMAX" – is a free service designed to
help businesses find markets for non-hazardous
materials - traditionally discarded. CalMAX
helps businesses, industries, and institutions save
resources and money.
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
Construction and demolition materials are
accepted at all 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. Other
recycling and reuse alternative options for some
construction/demolition materials are:

ELECTRONIC WASTE (E-WASTE)
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 computers 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.co.kern.ca.us/wmd)
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/WPIE/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.

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 an 800 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.

OUTLYING AREAS OF KERN
Grass clippings, tree branches, mulberry tree branches and construction lumber can be
recycled at various landfills throughout the County. Details follow:
•The Bena Landfill accepts segregated grass clippings, leaves and manure in a separate area for
composting. Bena also accepts tree trimmings and construction lumber.
• The Shafter-Wasco Landfill accepts segregated grass clippings, leaves and manure in a separate
area for composting. Shafter-Wasco also accepts tree trimmings and construction lumber.
•The Taft Landfill accepts tree trimmings and construction lumber.
•The Lebec Transfer Station accepts segregated grass clippings, leaves and manure in a separate

•The Buttonwillow Transfer Station accepts tree trimmings and construction lumber.
•The City of Wasco Green and Wood Waste Facility accepts tree trimmings, but will not accept mulberry tree branches.
•The Ridgecrest and Tehachapi Landfills accept tree trimmings and construction lumber for

•The McFarland-Delano Transfer Station accepts segregated grass clippings, leaves and manure in a separate area for composting. The McFarland-Delano Transfer Station also accepts tree trimmings and construction lumber.
About 30% of what comes into Kern County landfills
is yard waste and grass clippings. Many people treat
their lawn like a "crop". They (over) water and (over)
fertilize their lawns to encourage excessive growth.
The harvested "crop" (grass clippings) is bagged as
trash and transported to a landfill.
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.

For detailed information on how to manage green
waste, you can contact the following organizations:
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!

BULKY WASTE COLLECTION
TOXIC ROUNDUPS
Large or bulky waste consists of household items too large
to fit inside a trash container such as sofas, chairs, tables,
desks, beds, mattresses, appliances, and lawn furniture.
Tires, construction, demolition and remodeling materials,
household hazardous waste and greenwaste are NOT
considered bulky waste items and are NOT part of these
collection programs.
Household Hazardous Waste
One-Day Collection Events
Residents in the Metro Bakersfield area can have their
bulky waste items, including appliances, 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
The Kern County Waste Management Department in
collaboration with the Kern Refuse Haulers also sponsor
bulky waste collection events in the Metro-Bakersfield
area, twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. Additionally,
many Kern County cities such as Delano, McFarland,
Wasco, Ridgecrest, as well as the Community Services
Districts in Rosamond and Golden Hills sponsor single day
bulky waste collection events. Check the website www.
co.kern.ca.us/wmd or call (661) 862-8900 for more
information.
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
Ridgecrest, Kern Valley, Tehachapi, and Frazier Park/
Lebec communities. Check the Kern County Waste
Management website (www.co.kern.ca.us/wmd) or call
(661)862-8922 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.co.kern.
ca.us/wmd 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 661862-8900 for more information.
The A-Z Recycling Guide provides information on ways local residents
can donate, sell, purchase and recycle used products and materials.
Our goal is to decrease the amount of waste sent to local landfills.
California Assembly Bill 939 requires local cities and counties to reduce
the amount of waste going to local landfills. We all must do our part!
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.

There are more than 3,280 miles of roads in unincorporated Kern County.
These roads meander through the countryside
and connect residents to places beyond their front door.
Sadly, some of the roadways have fallen victim to ﬂyaway trash
and illegally dumped garbage. These roads need your help.
Take pride in the place we call home;
join the Keep Kern Roads Clean project.
When you join, you promise to clean up a two-mile stretch of roadway
at least four times a year. Encourage friends, family, and co-workers to help.
The effort will make a visible difference in the way our county looks,
and a meaningful difference in the hearts of those who volunteer.
Keep Make a difference
Kern you can see!
