It’s that time of year again – please join Recology for our 29th Annual Coat Drive! From October 1 – November 14, we will collect any-sized new or gently used, clean coats. Stay tuned for more information on when and where to donate your coats!
San Bruno residents are welcome to participate in our two free Fall Events! Join us for our Fall Drop-off Day on 10/11 to dispose of unwanted bulk items, e-waste, appliances, latex paint, and bags of garbage (no dirt, rock, or concrete). Also, mark your calendars for 10/11 and 10/12 to take home free compost!
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.
Over 100 professional artists and twenty student artists have completed residencies with Recology’s San Francisco Artist in Residence Program. See how they make art from your trash.
There are several items that we can’t take in our recycling program, but we don’t want to see them end up in the landfill either. Learn where to dispose of them nearby.
Electronic waste, such as fluorescent tubes and consumer batteries, are prohibited from the trash. Please drop them off at the San Bruno Transfer Station for safe disposal.
