HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE (HHW)
Household hazardous waste (HHW) materials such as paints, pesticides, fertilizers, propane tanks and some cleaners are not allowed in your trash, recycling or organics carts. These materials have toxic properties that require careful disposal by a certified facility. Alameda County residents may drop off HHW materials at any of the four County HHW facilities for free. The nearest HHW Drop-off Center is located at 2100 East 7th St., Oakland.

MANDATORY RECYCLING REQUIREMENTS
Mandatory recycling in the City of Albany has been in effect since July 1, 2012 for businesses and institutions with 4 or more cubic yards of garbage service as well as multi-family properties with 5 or more units. Phase 2 of the Mandatory Recycling Ordinance began July 1, 2014, which adds food scraps and compostable paper to the “Covered Materials” list. It also requires all businesses to participate (not just those with 4 or more cubic yards of weekly garbage service). Visit http://www.recyclingrulesac.org to learn more.
