The Sun Sets on Sun Street

Thank You to Our Customers!

Please be advised that our Sun Street Transfer Station in Salinas will close on Saturday, September 10th. Our Household Hazardous Waste & Recycling Facilities will be moving to 1104 Madison Lane and will open on Monday, September 12. Your closest disposal option will be at the neighboring Madison Lane Transfer Station, operated by Republic Services. You can also continue using our low-cost services at our Johnson Canyon Landfill location in Gonzales open 7 days a week. Help keep our community clean - do not leave any trash in public areas or outside of closed facilities! Click below to learn about your new disposal options.

Meet the Hope Services Team!

Chris, Paul, Arthur, and Alondra, alongside Coach Moe (listed from left to right), make up the Hope Services team for Salinas Valley Recycles! Hope Services provides services to people with developmental disabilities and mental health needs, like connecting them to job placement opportunities with us since 2007. You may have seen these faces at Sun Street Transfer Station, and we are happy to say they will continue their hard work at our Johnson Canyon facility in Gonzales, handling important tasks such as litter abatement, diversion, mattress recycling, and so much more. We are grateful to the team for all they do!

Schools, We Are Comin' For Ya!

Per SB1383 mandate in the State of California, everyone must be recycling food scraps - including schools! As a public agency, we are here to provide the tools and resources needed to get everyone in compliance, all for FREE. Lunch time will look a little different as students start placing waste into different bins, but with a little practice and a good set-up, it can be as easy as 1,2,3! Contact sarapb@svswa.org to get started (before the fines start rolling in).
