Zero Waste

Oakland multifamily properties with five or more units are required to provide recycling and composting collection service to their tenants. The Oakland Recycles Zero Waste contracts* provides all the services you need to comply with Alameda County’s Mandatory Recycling Ordinance (MRO) and the State of California’s Mandatory Commercial Recycling law. Effective January 1, 2017, the MRO notification/penalty phase for composting goes into effect.  Now is the time to get your composting program in place with help from Waste Management of Alameda County, Inc.
​
The MRO penalty phase for recycling has been in effect since 2012.  To request recycling assistance, contact California Waste Solutions at (510) 625-5263.
*Oakland Municipal Code requires property managers to provide residents access to all franchised collection services. (OMC 8.28.140.D)

2018 Zero Waste Workshops for Multi-Unit Rental Property Managers, Owners & Tenants

​Everything you need to know about waste reduction, recycling, compost programs, surcharges, and more. Other topics include:

Compost Cart Availability 
To comply with the MRO, residents of multifamily buildings must have access to enough compost collection service to capture all food scraps, yard trimmings and food-soiled paper they generate. As of July 1, 2015, every multifamily building in Oakland received one compost cart, either 32- or 64-gallons based on the number of resident units.
To request additional cart(s), contact Waste Management at (510) 613-8710.
