Recycling and Waste Sorting

Recycling & Waste Sorting Services

Eco-friendly disposal that diverts materials from landfills. Reduce your environmental impact and meet green building requirements.

Responsible Disposal Matters

California has some of the strictest waste diversion requirements in the country. AB 341 mandates recycling for businesses generating certain volumes. SB 1383 requires organic waste diversion. LEED and green building certifications demand documented recycling rates. Meeting these requirements isn’t optional — but it doesn’t have to be complicated either.

Apex Dumpsters offers recycling and waste sorting services that help you stay compliant while genuinely reducing your environmental footprint. We’re not just checking boxes — we’re actually diverting materials from landfills and processing them properly.
