Everyone should learn about Cal-Waste

I think everyone should learn about Cal-Waste. CalWaste is a recycling company. It is not the recycling that picks up your recycling at home, but it picks up school recycling.

It is a family-owned business. Cal-Waste is open five to six days a week. Cal-Waste is located in the city of Galt, if you want to go there and get more information.

There are 152 people working in the Galt Cal-Waste. There are three Cal-Waste Recoveries in the U.S.

Some things you can’t recycle that most people think you can are paper towels, pizza boxes, plastic bags, plastic egg cartons, food wrappers and any rope or long string.

You cannot recycle paper towels because they have been recycled about five times already and they cannot do anything else with them. You cannot recycle pizza boxes because the cardboard got all greasy from the pizza, but you can recycle normal cardboard.

You do not have to take the lids or labels off of glass. When you recycle water bottles, the caps have to be not on at all or tightly screwed on.

Did you know a single aluminum can takes 200 to 500 years to fully degrade in a landfill?

If they find a needle or chemical they have to shut down all of Cal-Waste and look through every little bit.

So if you want more info, you can go to Cal-Waste.
