Eco-Waste Management

What’s the current status of recycling?

It’s not what it used to be, so Inurge you to please cease from purchasing plastic as before whenever possible.

hi there,

Unfortunately, Green Citizen in Berkeley has closed down. However, another place where you can take whole styrofoam, not peanuts, is to the El Cerrito Recycling Center on Schmidt Ln.

As far as peanuts go. I find small mailing service companies, not chains, and often offer them to them--they are usually happy to use them.

thank you!

Nevertheless, better options are out there and I hope companies see them and begin to transition.
