29 Aug 2024 --- The US State of California is modernizing and expanding its recycling infrastructure with the rollout of over 250 new sites across 30 counties. The facilities are funded by nearly US$70 million in Beverage Container Redemption Innovation Grants from California’s Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle). The grants, awarded to 37 projects, focus on implementing dynamic recycling methods such as reverse vending machines, mobile recycling units and bag-drop sites. This expansion is targeting underserved counties, ensuring that residents across the state have easier access to recycling services.
