The City of Bakersfield has created a new commercial recycling program for big box stores that shifts the paradigm of how roll off compactors are used. Recycling has been increased and truck mileage reduced. 

Learning Objectives:

1.     Achieve higher solid waste diversion goals by providing large volume generators an economical way to avoid spoiling mixed recyclables.

2.     Eliminate miles of truck travel by redirecting loads away from outlying landfills to nearby recycling facilities.

3.     Teach large volume generators to recycle and save money by making a few simple adjustments in their work patterns.
