Amador County residents are reminded that each year on November 15th America Recycles Day is celebrated. America Recycles Day is an opportunity to recognize the benefits of recycling while providing an

educational platform to help raise awareness about the value of 3R’s

(Reduce, Reuse and Recycle).

The Waste Management and Recycling Department reminds businesses in Amador County to check out the free bottle and can recycling receptacles that are available. The stylist black, indoor/outdoor, receptacles will complement any décor and generate money through the California Redemption Value (CRV) on bottles and cans.

Also, go ahead and deep fry your turkey for Thanksgiving! The county has a program to collect and recycle used cooking oils. The oil is converted into a biodiesel fuel for a truly green Turkey-to-Tank alternative to high gasoline prices.
