Trash & Recycling Frequently Asked Questions
Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law
In
1991, the City of Cypress implemented a curb side recycling
program. This program was started in response to state
legislation which mandated all California cities and counties
to divert 25% of trash generated by 1995 and 50% by 2000.
Consolidated Disposal, the City's franchise trash hauler,
picks up recycling containers bi-weekly in accordance with
a recycling
schedule.
