Southern California Disposal - Going Green!
Pro-Business and Pro-Earth: At Southern California Disposal, we believe it's possible to be both pro-business and sensitive to the enviironnment. We are constantly researching technical and human innovations that bring an environmental and economic balance to our community.Source Reduction: Beyond Recycling: We believe recycling is only one of the ways to manage the re-utilization of materials. In order for businesses to minimize waste and maximize productivity, the best option available is source reduction. Our full-time Resource Recovery Specialist can assist you in designing a source reduction and recycling program to fit your exact needs. We encourage business leaders to avoid unneccesary disposal costs through our Waste Auditing Program. Contact our representative at 310-828-6444 for a consultation.
Recycled Fuel: SCD's collection fleet runs on B-99 biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil. Biodiesel significantly reduces serious air pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and air toxins, while lessening our nation's dependency on fossil fuels.
Transfer & Recycling: At the Southern California Disposal Recycling and Transfer Station, our primary goal is to give businesses and individuals an avenue to recycle that is both cost-containing and ecologically responsive. We're able to divert 100% of both green waste and e-waste, 75% of construction debris, and a large percentage of the remaining refuse processed through our facility, keeping it out of our local landfills.
Electronic Waste Collection: Electronic waste (e-waste) is a growing concern due to the harmful affects the hazardous pollutants contained in electronic equipment have on the environment. SCD works with businesses and individuals to provide a safe and efficient way to recycle their used and obsolete electronic equipment in compliance with state and federal regulations. We accept the following equipment for recycling at our transfer station: computer monitors, PCs, servers, keyboards and mice, scanners, printers, radios, televisions, stereos, VCRs, and fax machines.

REDUCE: Practice reduction by selecting products that do not have to be added to landfills or the waste stream. REUSE: Reuse materials in their original form instead of throwing them away, or pass those materials on to others who could use them. RECYCLE: Think before you toss something in the trash. Items made from recycled materials use less energy and other resources. |
