In observance of the Independence Day holiday,
employees of Harrison Industries will be taking the day off on Thursday, July 4. As a result, Harrison will collect trash, recycling and yard/organic waste one day later than usual for all Thursday and Friday customers during the week of June 30 to July 6. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday customers are not affected. The regular schedule will resume the following week.
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.
