Harrison Industries

will maintain its regular trash, recycling and yard/organic waste collection schedule during the week of Veterans Day, Nov. 10-16.

Remember that Harrison’s residential customers can place all three carts curbside every week, as Harrison collects all waste weekly – including food waste, which is recyclable. All food waste should be placed in closed paper or plastic bags and the bags should be tossed in the organics waste cart. 

It’s important to recycle your food waste EVERY WEEK

and establish this as a regular habit. In 2022, the state of California began to require the diversion of food waste from landfills, and your efforts are needed. Even if you only have food waste bags and no yard waste, you can still put the food waste bags in your organics waste cart and take it to the curb every week for pickup.

Thank you for your role in the success of our food waste recycling program. Food waste recycling is the law, but more importantly, it’s vital for the environment. Food waste emits destructive methane gas as it decays, damaging our atmosphere and causing global warming. We all have to do our part and make food waste recycling a daily habit. 

When October rolls around,

We sure do love our pumpkins! And I’m no different! Whether we’re carving them up for Halloween or putting them on display to honor Autumn, most of us make an annual trip to the store or local pumpkin patch to pick up a few. But we also know they don’t last forever. And while we might not think of them that way, those decaying pumpkins and all those sloppy leftovers from carving are considered organic food waste. In the past, most ended up in landfills where they produced that climate change super pollutant, methane. But that shouldn’t be the case anymore. We at Harrison make it easy for you to do the right thing with your old pumpkins and all of your food waste.

Here’s what to do with your pumpkins:

If you’ve carved them, take your pile of pumpkin guts and seeds, place them in a plastic or paper bag, secure them tightly and put them in your curbside organic (yard and food) waste cart. When your carved or whole pumpkin is ready to go, just toss it in the same waste cart, no bag necessary. Even if you only have food waste bags and no yard waste, you can still put them in your organic waste cart and take it to the curb.
