“Thanks to new waste collection services, businesses in San José have dramatically boosted their recycling rate from 22 percent to almost 70 percent between July and December 2012. City of San José staff are highlighting this accomplishment in a presentation on the Commercial Solid Waste Transition at the March 4, 2013 Transportation and Environment Committee meeting.
“The new waste collection services began July 1, 2012, providing a two-container wet/dry sort for businesses. Wet items include organics, such as food waste, used napkins and paper plates, and landscape trimmings. Dry items include everything else, including glass, paper, plastics, cardboard, and scrap metals. Waste collection also changed to a single hauler system under franchise with the City of San José. Previously, San Jose’s 8,000 businesses selected and negotiated their own garbage and recycling services among more than 20 different City-approved haulers.”
