Here are some easy ways to help:
Recycling Saves!
Recycling Saves Resources
Recycling protects the environment and reduces the need to extract virgin materials, including oil — recycling one ton of plastic saves the equivalent of nearly 4 barrels of oil.
Recycling Saves Energy
Last year, over 110,000 tons of materials were recycled or composted at the Napa Recycling & Composting Facility. By keeping these valuable resources out of the landfi ll, we signifi cantly decreased carbon dioxide and methane emissions and saved enough energy to power all the houses in Napa for three months!
Recycling Saves Jobs
Did you know that the recycling industry in California employs as many people (85,000) as the fi lm industry? And, for every ton of material that is recycled, instead of wasted in incinerators and landfi lls, 10 times more jobs are created in recycling sorting, and 25 times more jobs are created in recycling manufacturing.
Recycling Saves Money
Recycling and yardwaste collection is free with your service, and your monthly rate is determined by the size of your garbage container. The bigger the cart, the more you pay...save money by reducing your waste!
Printed on 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Get great results using a product that saves resources!

BUYBACK & DROP-OFF LOCATIONS
California Beverage Container Recycling ProgramGlass, aluminum & plastic beverage containers labeled CRV (California Refund Value) can be redeemed at designated centers for:
• 5¢ per container under 24 oz• 10¢ per container 24 oz and above.
Recycling centers are allowed to pay by weight as a matter of business effi ciency, however California law allows the option of being paid based on count for up to 50 containers of each material type.
Non-CRV glass, metal and plastic beverage containers are accepted for recycling at most drop-off recycling locations.
Who owns your recyclables?Recyclable materials at your workplace or home belong to you. You may choose to take your cans and bottles to a recycling buyback center or put your recyclables in the recycling equip-ment provided by your service provider for regularly scheduled pickup.
Once those materials are in the recycling cart or bin, only you or your service provider have the right to remove them. The recyclables have value, and the revenue your service provider receives from processing recyclables is taken into consideration when garbage collection rates are set.

RECYCLING AT SPECIAL EVENTSLook for recycling containers at fairs, concerts or other public events!
Want to recycle at YOUR event? Resources are available to help you succeed.
During the planning process, call NRWS at 707-255-5200 (south county) or 707-253-4094 for up-valley.
They will help you select the right recycling and trash containers for your needs and provide
guidelines for successful event recycling.
State and County policies require recycling at large events. Plus, recycling will save you money
because there is no charge for recycling at large events (south county and north county free services vary) …
while there is always a charge for trash collection.
✔ PLAN FOR RECYCLING
• Include a plan for recycling as you organize your event.
• Recycling and trash containers should always be paired together.
• Proper placement and signage for all containers is key.
• Work with cleanup staff to monitor containers throughout the event.
If you are not able to recruit volunteers for end-of-event cleanup,
paying for assistance during this critical time is a worthwhile investment.
Food CompostingVisit www.NapaRecycling.com or call 707-255-5200 to learn if composting is
an option for your event
make it a zero-waste event!

PRODUCT NAME
Unwanted hazardous waste is very expensive to dispose. A better option for both your budget and the environment is to prevent the “waste” from the start.
1) Buy the right product for the job. There is no magic bullet! What do you want the product to do?
2) Buy the least toxic alternative. To minimize negative impacts to people/pets/the environment.
3) Buy only the amount you need or can use up. Will you be able to use up the “jumbo” or “bargain” size product before the expiration date?
4) Store the product properly so it doesn’t become unusable. Keep in a covered, dry, safe place.
Is your unwanted product in good condition?
Could it be used by someone else? Don’t let it sit on your
shelf! At the Hazardous Waste Collection Facility they’ll decide if your product can go to the “Reuse Locker” where someone else can use it up instead of wasting it.
GREENCLEAN
Paint Recycling PaintCare.org operates a paint stewardship program to ensure convenient
locations for recycling paint product(s) including: interior and exterior house paints, deck coatings, primers,
sealers, stains, shellacs, lacquers, varnishes, and urethanes. Deliver products in their original containers
(5 gallon maximum) and a maximum of 20 gallons total per trip. PLEASE CALL AHEAD to ensure the site has enough storage space to accommodate your paint. Visit www.paintcare.org to learn more about the “Paint Smarter” program.
