Designed and constructed by Recology in partnership with The City of San Francisco, the Recycle Central facility opened in 2002 and is a critical component of achieving zero waste. 

• The Recycle Central plant covers 185,000 square feet.
• Approximately 500 tons of commingled materials are sorted for recycling at this facility every day.
• The Recycle Central workforce includes over 180 employee-owners, many from nearby neighborhood Bayview Hunters Point.
