a service provider. If you know of such
organization or business, please let us

in future publications.

COMMERCIAL RECYCLING...
It's the LAW!
IS YOUR BUSINESS IN COMPLIANCE?
California state law requires BUSINESSES generating 4 cubic yards or more of trash per week and
MULTI-FAMILY complexes with 5 or more units to RECYCLE.
RECYCLE AND SAVE!
Save money by reducing your trash and increasing your recycling. The cost for disposal
services is based on your level of trash service per week. The more material recycled, the
less you pay in disposal.

metal loads are SOURCE 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

For Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling Locations
see the A-Z section in this guide by MATERIAL TYPE.
In an effort to reduce greenhouse 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 and 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.

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.
KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE
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.
12
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, Kern County Special
Waste Facilities, and at most Kern
County landfills (see page 18). The
City of Bakersfield has a curbside
used oil collection program, for more
information call (661) 326-3114.
Check out the Oil Recycling Website at
www.calrecycle.ca.gov/usedoil
for site locations and more information.
Oil filters are also recyclable at
the oil collection sites maintained by
the Kern County Waste 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 22.
ELECTRONIC WASTE (E-WASTE)
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 Kern County Disposal sites and Special Waste
Facilities (see page 14) 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,
St. Vincent de Paul, Bakersfield Association of Retarded
Citizens (BARC) and others that have been authorized by
the state. (see A-Z Section – Electronics, page 26).
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 (see page 26) 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, go to the A-Z section – Toner Cartridges on page 30.
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
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.
KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE
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.
16
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.

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.
From Lost Hills to Ridgecrest, the Clean Kids puppet shows provide an opportunity for students to
become teachers. 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!
KERN COUNTY RECYCLING GUIDE
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.

A-Z RECYCLING GUIDE
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.
