Curbside Residential Recycling

Access to residential Curbside Recycling Programs vary - depending upon where you live in Kern County.

The communities of Arvin, California City, Delano, Kern Valley, Maricopa, McFarland, Metro-Bakersfield, Ridgecrest, Shafter, Taft, Tehachapi and Wasco have a CURBSIDE RECYCLING PROGRAM for common residential recyclable materials. This blue bin program lets residents recycle a variety of common materials including aluminum, cardboard, glass, junk mail, newspaper, #1 through #7 plastic, steel, and tin cans. Their program is part of the overall waste diversion plan for those communities and is available as a part of the regular trash service.

For more information on these programs, please visit Kern County Public Works Recycling Portal.
