Resource Recovery & Sustainability
Davis Street is also helping to close the loop on organic materials at its WM EarthCare Landscape Center. It offers compost approved for organic farming, soil blends and mulch in a variety of natural dye colors. All the products are made from locally sourced, 100% recycled materials.
Since 1980, Davis Street has been a leader in resource recovery and sustainability services in the Bay Area. We are proud to serve Alameda County and its communities.
Effective January 1, 2022, the environmental charge will increase to 20% of all invoice charges, including the fuel surcharge and excluding taxes, or to a flat per load rate of $15.00 for small loads or $30.00 for large loads.
The environmental charge allows us to cover enterprise-wide costs throughout North America associated with operating our collection, transfer, recycling and landfill operations in a safe and environmentally responsible manner and to achieve an acceptable operating margin. These costs include expenses associated with environmental compliance, such as landfill development, environmental testing, and maintenance of environmental systems at our facilities. For further details, please visit www.wm.com/fec or call 1-800-963-4776 to speak with a local Technical Service Representative.
Trash to Landfill
Trash delivered to Davis Street is transferred to the Altamont Landfill in Livermore. Nearly 25 tons of trash, the equivalent of four residential collection trucks, is loaded into a single transfer truck to haul to the landfill.
By using transfer trucks, we reduce traffic, wear and tear on roadways, and greenhouse gas emissions.
Recycling Tips
Remember the hierarchy of the 4 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Rot.
- Make purchasing decisions that reduce packaging waste or only select packaging that can be reused or recycled.
- Trash is not sorted to recover recyclables. Please separate organics and recyclables at your home and office.
