YOU ARE BIGGER THAN YOU THINK!

40th Anniversary Napa County Coastal Cleanup
September 21, 2024
9am-12pm

VOLUNTEERS are needed to clean up Napa County’s streets & creeks!

COASTAL CLEANUP DAY is a statewide and international effort to clean trash and debris from beaches, bays, creeks, rivers, and lakes.

Last year, 388 residents participated in Napa County’s Coastal Cleanup Day, removing 3350 pounds of trash, recycling, and compost from 16 sites along Napa’s waterways.

This year, we again have 16 locations, including sites in Berryessa, Calistoga, St. Helena, Yountvill, Napa, and American Canyon.

Come out and help us #KeepNapaClean!

Reduce plastic bag waste—bring your own bucket, box, or bin for litter collection. If you have reusable gloves and a trash grabber, bring those too!

All ages are welcome to participate.

Please register in advance…join the fun!

Recycling and composting are easy and efficient methods to save energy, create jobs and reduce the production of greenhouse gases.

In 2023, over 180,000 tons of materials were recycled or composted at the Napa Recycling & Composting Facility.

By keeping these valuable resources out of the landfill, we decreased carbon dioxide emissions by 176,403 metric tons and used 960,880 million fewer BTUs of energy. This is enough energy to power all the houses in Napa for four and a half months.

Additionally, these savings are the equivalent of taking 37,453 passenger cars off the road and conserving over 20 million gallons of gasoline, helping to fight climate change and reduce our dependency on fossil fuels.

And, they provide for over 340 full-time jobs across the recycling, composting and reuse economy!*

Get rid of those illegal, unhealthy and unsightly piles of tires today.

Napa Recycling partners with the City of Napa and Napa County to provide a FREE waste tire amnesty period August 1–September 1, 2024 for NRWS customers or until December 30, 2024 for NCRWS customers.

You can help to make sure these tires are recycled properly instead of becoming breeding grounds for mosquitoes or fire hazards.

Together we can make a difference! The coupon authorizes the transportation of up to 9 tires for free recycling. The regular recycling price for tires 22” or less in rim size diameter is $5 per tire.

PLEASE NOTE: All passenger and light truck tires 22” or less in rim size diameter will be accepted. Tires can remain on the metal rims.

LIMIT ONE COUPON PER TRIP!

Tire Recycling Coupon – Napa County (NCRWS customers)

Tire Recycling Coupon – City of Napa (NRWS customers)

REMEMBER: You must comply with the law when hauling waste tires. With this coupon in your possession, you may haul and recycle no more than 9 tires. This offer is available to residential and non tire-dealer commercial customers only during the amnesty period.

To get a coupon, contact NRWS/NCRWS at (707) 255-5200 or print one out above.

PLEASE NOTE: City coupons are only good for the month of August, County coupons are good all year!

• new tires
• fence posts
• playground safety surfaces
• athletic surfaces
• mud flaps
• bed liners
• roofing material

For additional information, call (707) 255-5200.

DID YOU KNOW?

Napa and the State of California require larger construction and demolition projects to separate out recyclable and compostable materials and recover at least 65% of the project debris.

Napa Recycling can help you comply and save money!

Separate the following materials and pay less than the same size box for mixed “trash”:

• Concrete
• Asphalt
• Clean Wood
• Dirt
• Grape Pomace
• Drywall
• Yard Trimmings
• Carpet

Find the current rates here and request service through our new portal!

Why pay full price for a TRASH box when you can get the same size box for SEPARATED MATERIALS for a fraction of the cost?

SPLIT BOXES AVAILABLE!

Split boxes save space – twice the materials in the same area. Call or see our Debris Box page for rates (NRWS City customers only).

REMINDER!

Boxes for single-stream recycling, cardboard, paper, glass, plastic, or metals are free in the City of Napa and 50% off in Napa County!

Replacing your smoke detectors?

Many smoke detectors contain a trace amount of radioactive material— they are NOT accepted in the garbage or recycling. They are hazardous waste. 

The good news is that smoke detectors are now accepted at the Household Hazardous Waste Facility!

Household Hazardous Waste Facility

889A Devlin Rd, American Canyon

Located off Hwy 29 & S. Kelly Rd

OPEN EVERY FRIDAY & SATURDAY

9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

DO NOT BAG RECYCLABLES – bagged recyclables are landfilled.

Put recyclables loose in the blue cart and put plastic bags and other soft stretchy plastics in the gray (landfill) cart.

Plastic bags and other soft stretchy plastics tangle and damage the sorting lines at our facility.
