Recycling Cans and Cannots
Eureka Recycling, the City’s curbside recycling processor, conducts a materials composition analysis of the City’s recyclables each year to estimate the amount by weight of recyclable and non-recyclable materials, called ‘residuals’. The City was notified by Eureka Recycling in December that a recent materials composition analysis found that residuals increased from 9.56% in 2019 to just over 13%, which is a trigger point for action in the City’s processing contract with Eureka.
Please watch this informative video on the Cans and Cannots of Recycling.
Please remember that the following items are not recyclable in your curbside recycling cart:
- plastic bags
- batteries
- small electronics
- scrap metal (wire hangers, pots and pans, car parts, etc.).
Single Sort Recycling
Recyclables are collected in a single sort method. Materials do not need to be sorted into different groups, simply place all recycles into your recycling container.
Residents - See the Recycling Guide for a list of materials collected in the City's curbside recycling program.
Businesses and multi-family housing - Contact your licensed hauler for a full list of acceptable recyclables.
