The concept of recycling has taken on a new meaning when we look at the community involvement of Sacramento recycling projects. The city and county are part of this enormous movement and for most items they have curbside pick up for the residents. On an alternating weekly schedule along with the regular trash collection a second truck arrives to collect either green waste recyclables or plastic and paper products that are acceptable.
In addition to the weekly pick up residents can schedule curb side pickups for larger items such as furniture, old lumber and larger tree branches. There are limitations on what you can put in these piles and containers but the county also specialty locations that you can take them for disposal. The county has locations that deal with e-waste as well as hazardous materials sites for paint, oil and other things that should not be added to the environment.
Many commercial companies specialize in the collection of recyclable items and will pay the donor for them. Some of these companies are happy to work with churches and other social groups on fund raising projects. They gather up all of the items collected by the group and separate it for sale at the highest negotiable price. They have chosen to remain apart from the county and city in order to be free to negotiate higher payouts.
There is also a faction of this enterprise that will collect old furniture. It is then sold to companies that may use it again by melting and molding the raw materials in the item into new re-purposed items for resale. These companies generally refer to themselves as junk collectors and there is a charge for their services. They will however remove all forms of cast off items at one time and separate it for delivery to individual recycle centers.
Most families in the area do their own recycling when it comes to aluminum cans and plastic water bottles. These items are easily stored and transported to the neighborhood collection site. They are purchased by the pound so each station has a scale for weighing. This is one of the most popular methods of fund raising for schools and churches.
You can find companies that specialize in E-waste. Any electrical appliance is considered E-waste and improvements and changes in styles happen at an amazing rate. The field of electronic devices grows daily and so does the problem of proper disposal.
Many items such as TVs and computers contain deadly elements that can pollute the environment on every level. These elements when collected by recyclers are also worth a lot of money. By removing and collecting the offending elements they can be resold to companies who will use them to create new electronic devices.
The environmental footprint of Sacramento is noticeably small compared to other cities of the same size. This is due to the diligent work of city and county operated centers as well as cooperation from the population living there. Sacramento recycling leads the field in comprehensive programs designed to improve the world we live in and help prevent the further destruction of the planet.
