City of Glendale - Recycling |
|
Glendale’s recycling program is one way for residents to help conserve natural resources and extend the life of the landfill by diverting recyclables out of the waste stream.
Recycling is the process of collecting materials destined for disposal and reprocessing or remanufacturing them for further use.
Single-family residences are provided one
95-gallon recycling container, one
mini-recycling bin for in-home use and a simple list of recyclable items.
