Classroom Presentations and Education

Yuba-Sutter Disposal, Inc. has staff available for classroom presentations on waste management, recycling, and composting topics.

Recycling Services for Schools

In addition to providing an important educational message, school recycling programs can reduce a school's waste disposal costs. Free cardboard bins and recycling containers and service are provided to schools as part of rate funded services and through grants provided to the Regional Waste Management Authority by the California Department of Conservation. Check the list below to see whether your school already participates in the ongoing recycling service. For special events, recycling frames and clear plastic bags can be provided for the collection of recyclable materials. The recyclable materials can either be added to the school’s recycling carts if the school participates in that program, or bottles and cans can be taken to a recycling center to obtain the redemption value as a school fund raiser (please also see Cash for Class Programs below). To request these services, call the Yuba-Sutter Disposal, Inc. Recycling Coordinator at (530) 749-4220, or email jsillman@ysdi.com.
