A garbage truck's worth of plastic is poured into our oceans every minute. Let us all do better!
Bay Area Recycling Outreach Coalition (BayROC)
In the U.S. alone, it’s estimated 500 million straws are used every single day (enough to fill 125 school buses). A study this year estimates 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world's beaches. We can do better; in fact our survival depends on it. Refuse the straw. Take the pledge at www.ReuseToGo.org
What to do about plastic? Use reusables when possible. Buy products in recyclable packaging. Leave disposables at the store.

Oaklanders do their part to recycle right. Make sure containers are empty, clean and dry when they go into the cart. Batteries belong on top, in a sealed plastic bag. #OaklandRecycles.com for more information!
#Recycling is alive and well in #Oakland. Keep food, clothing and trash out. Place empty, clean & dry containers in. And remember...put your heart in it!
Composting is important for combating climate change and for healthy soil where our food is grown. Keep it clean. Don't allow glass, plastic or trash in your green compost cart.
Got stuff to get rid of? Well guess what? You get a free #bulky pick up every year! So what are you waiting for? Call Waste Management for an appointment at (510) 613-8710 or visit #OaklandRecycles.com/bulky-pickup-service.
Unfortunately, not everything goes into #recycling or #compost. Some items still belong in the trash. We have information about all three containers and bulky pickup too at #OaklandRecycles.com!
Our video tells the compost story! Composting scraps of organics that cannot be eaten returns valuable nutrients to the soil to grow healthy food. But keep out plastics!
Step right up and test your recycle knowledge!
