The City of Orange is proud to announce a new pilot program that makes recycling more accessible and convenient to residents than ever before.

Recycle From Home™ is a brand new program that PICKS UP and PAYS residents for their recyclable cans and bottles! Inspired by 13-year-old recycling superstar Ryan Hickman, this program makes it incredibly easy for Orange residents to recycle right from their driveway or doorstep! No more loading up the car with boxes or bags of cans and bottles in search of a redemption center. Collection bags and QR code tracking labels are provided to you to sort your CA CRV aluminum cans, plastic, and glass bottles.

Recycle From Home schedules drivers to pick up at a designated time that you select, and your items are recycled within 24 hours of pick up. Your recycled items are weighed, redemption is calculated based on current CA CRV rates and processed for payment. Your recycling redemption funds are then sent to you through Paypal, Venmo or as a mailed check. 

Schedule a Pick Up

Schedule a pick-up online, put your items out for pick up, and you’re done! Recycle From Home™ will handle the rest. For more information and to sign up for this service, visit www.RecycleFromHome.com or download the Recycle From Home mobile app to get started.

Household hazardous waste includes such items as paint, lawn chemicals, motor oil, solvents, batteries, sharps and needles, fluorescent bulbs, mercury thermometers, computer monitors, laptops and television sets. In February 2006, legislation went into effect that bans many electronic devices from the landfills, meaning it is illegal to dispose of these items in the trash. This includes such items as computers, keyboards, stereos, cell phones, cordless phones, VCRs, microwaves, calculators, electronic toys, game consoles, "singing" greeting cards, and athletic shoes and jewelry with flashing lights. Orange residents can take these items to:

Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center
1071 N Blue Gum
Anaheim, CA 92806

Or visit one of three other centers in Orange County. The centers are open from 9 am to 3 pm, Tuesday through Saturday. They are closed on rainy days, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. For more information, call (714) 834-4000 or visit OC Landfills Household Hazardous Waste website. Please note that it is the resident's responsibility to remove all personal information from computer hard drives.

Your trash and recycling collector, CR&R Environmental Services provides a free bulky item collection program. Each City of Orange residential account is entitled to four bulky item collections four times a year. That’s 16 items a year! Bulky items include large, hard-to-handle items such as furniture, appliances, computers, computer monitors, electronic waste, and extra yard waste. Residents in multi-family complexes with bin service may also have bulky item service available.

In order for you to reserve a bulky item collection date, contact CR&R at (714) 372-8272. Once your bulky item collection has been reserved, place your bulky item out for collection on your regularly scheduled trash collection day. For more information please view the Free Curbside Bulky Item Collection Program.

To properly dispose of your used motor oil at one of Orange's certified collection centers, search for the center nearest you at OC Health's website. It is a good idea to call the collection center to verify their hours and make sure they are able to accept your used oil. This program is funded by a grant from CalRecycle and administered by Orange County Health Care Agency.
