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. #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. Do not recycle any junk mail
with personal information unless shredded.

BUYBACK RECYCLING PROGRAMS
6
$
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.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
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.
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.

BULKY WASTE/LARGE ITEM COLLECTION

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.
What is CALGreen?
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.

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.

JUNK MAIL
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.
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.

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.
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

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.

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

BULKY WASTE COLLECTION
TOXIC ROUNDUPS
Large or bulky waste consists of household items too
large to fit inside a trash container such as a sofa, chair,
table, desk, bed, mattress, appliance, 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

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.kerncountywaste.com 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 Kern
Valley, Tehachapi, Frazier Park and Lebec communities.
Check the Kern County Waste Management website (www.
kerncountywaste.com) or call (661)862-8922 for
locations, dates and times.
CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING

A-Z RECYCLING GUIDE
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.
