recycLA Stars

The City of Los Angeles has launched an exciting and historic public/private partnership that ensures customer-friendly and efficient waste and recycling services to all businesses and apartment buildings in the City, while serving our customers with clean fuel trucks and more efficient pick-up routes.

This innovative program, called “recycLA” is part of the City’s commitment to enhance the quality of life in Los Angeles while meeting a state mandate to reduce landfill waste. This program will improve the air that we breathe, the roads that we travel and the overall cleanliness of Los Angeles.
