Help us save bulky items from the landfill by donating & hunting for treasure!

Have you ever wondered what happens after you toss your food scraps and yard waste in the green bin?

SLO County residents can receive a FREE kitchen pail for collecting and recycling your food scraps.

Recycling preserves natural resources, and helps ensure that the things we use have a second chance. The small act of placing recyclable materials in the blue bin instead of the garbage creates a greener future for SLO County.

Recycling Ambassadors Program

Have you ever been given a single-use plastic product that was labeled "compostable" or "biodegradable"? People often ask if these can go in your curbside green bin here in SLO County, and the answer is NO!

We are pleased to announce expanded hours for Hazardous, Electronic, and Universal Waste disposal at the Cold Canyon Landfill, beginning January 2, 2026!
