Recycling in San Bruno
The City of San Bruno has for years taken a lead role on environmental issues, including early adoption of curbside recycling, adoption of a recycled-content purchasing policy, support of water conservation measures, local recycling information and stormwater pollution prevention efforts.
The City annually sponsors events such as Clean Your Files Day (an Earth Day event to promote recycling of office paper), Operation Clean Sweep (the City's annual litter clean-up event), and Coats for Kids (a reuse program for winter clothes). In addition, the City works closely with our franchised garbage and recycling hauler, San Bruno Garbage Co., Inc. and the County of San Mateo's recycling and hazardous waste programs.
