Mixed Paper and Cardboard
"Mixed Paper" refers to several types and grades of paper, which can be recycled together in one category. Mixed paper is typically collected in large green 'toters' throughout County offices. Smaller boxes are available, free of charge, to collect the paper so you can make less frequent trips to the larger bin. Boxes are available in 2 sizes: under-desk box and tall box (approx. 3 feet tall, good for copy rooms and common areas).  |
If you are cleaning out office files and need additional pick-ups or deskside bins contact Facilities Service Customer Service Center at 650-363-4444.
