RethinkWaste and SCS Engineers, on behalf of the City of Menlo Park, will perform waste checks of residential carts and commercial bin contents. These annual reviews, required by the State of California and Senate Bill (SB) 1383: State organics law, are performed to monitor contamination levels of each of the waste streams (garbage, recycling, and compost). This is an effort to keep these waste streams clean and increase what is recycled and recovered. The reviews will take place throughout August.
