Now, Recology is back with a new proposal — increase collection rates by 30 percent over the next three years.

ICYMI: San Francisco residents can place unadorned Christmas trees curbside next to their Recology bins on their regular collection day between Jan. 2 and Jan. 17 to make sure they’re disposed of properly.
Recology will recycle the holiday trees for free.

Ok turns out Recology does take damaged batteries after all. Not sure why I was overthinking this. Just trying to minimize my negative impact. Thanks for the helpful responses!
Doing some spring cleaning, and I've come across something extremely upsetting & embarrassing to me as a chemistry teacher: a bunch of very old batteries.
Does anyone in SF know how to dispose of leaking batteries? Everywhere I've looked only recycles batteries that are not damaged. Thx.

From the monthly SFOB vintage car meetup, which doubles as a Sunset Sketchers outing led by the dynamic @gorneaux.bsky.social. I included a Recology recycling truck in honor of Earth Day.

Say you hired (or contract with Recology to hire) idk 25-50 more trash collectors. You don't need daily pickup in most parts of city, but you should flood the zone where there's a high volume of trash. Would that pencil out to be more or less than more fancy cans? Seems figureoutable!

Seattle doesn’t operate trash pickup, that’s Recology. No matter. Wilson said she wanted “the trash to be picked up”
The disingenuous whiners at the Seattle Times ed board actually suggested that Katie Wilson—mayor-elect and the founder of the Transit Riders Union (who used to do outreach at the bus stop on Third and Union)—doesn't know that the county, not the city, runs the buses. Cry harder, losers

‘shortly after 4 a.m. after an apparent bystander flagged down the truck’s driver to inform them there was “yelling inside the garbage area of his truck.”

About 590 tons of Christmas trees were recycled in San Francisco last year. For decades, the city’s waste management company, Recology, has helped residents sustainably dispose of their trees after the holidays, hauling mountains of pine to a composting facility in Vacaville.

Touring Recology’s upgraded materials recycling facility. Previously, all recyclable material was shipped to San Jose to be processed, but after a $35 million upgrade, Recology can now manage all of Sonoma County’s recycling in Santa Rosa - an enormous reduction in GHGs.
