CITY NEWS ORGANICS RECYCLING PROGRAM IN BELLFLOWER


On January 1, 2022, CR&R Environmental Services together with the City of Bellflower launched a new Organics Recycling Program. Single- family customers with cart service may now place food scraps in addition to yard waste in the green waste container.


What materials may I place in the organics cart? - From your yard: Grass clippings, leaves, weeds, prunings, flowers, and other yard waste. - From your kitchen: Fruit, bread, fish, meat, vegetables, dairy, food soiled paper, and FOG (fats, oil, and grease).


- Items NOT Accepted in Organics Carts: Recyclables (plastic, glass, metal), Styrofoam, bones, waxed / coated paper, pet waste, palm fronds, and trash.


- Compostable bags are optional and available at local retailers. Other types of plastic bags are not accepted. You may also line your cart with newspaper or paper bags.


As of January 1, 2022, all businesses and multi-family dwellings are also required by State regulations to arrange for ongoing recycling and organic waste recycling services. This applies to all commercial businesses regardless of service levels and applies to all multi-family dwellings. To establish these required recycling services now, please contact CR&R Environmental Services at bellflower recycles@crrmail. com or 562-944-4716. By participating in the program, you are helping California reach targeted goals to reduce short-lived climate pollutant emissions.
