Recology is proud to release our 2025 Sustainability Update, marking another year of progress in building a more sustainable and circular future. We’re not just collecting materials—we're reshaping systems, deepening community partnerships, and creating real momentum toward a more sustainable, circular economy.
Our Waste Zero Team helps businesses apply best management practices in collecting recycling, compost and landfill materials. We provide a single point of contact to help you implement new recycling programs or improve your existing program and make sure you have the resources you need.
Drop off a variety of items at South Bayside Industries Recycling Drop off for disposal, including recyclables, hazardous waste, electronic waste, and bulky items.
There are several items that we can’t accept in our recycling program, but we don’t want to see them end up in the landfill either. Many of these items can be taken to special recycling locations, or reused by local businesses.
