About this center

Shoreway Environmental Center in San Carlos pairs a Public Recycling Center with a Transfer Station, and both open through Gate 1 on Shoreway Road. RethinkWaste runs the site, which receives waste and recyclables from the general public, contractors, and franchised collection vehicles serving its member agencies. Trailers haul the consolidated material to Ox Mountain Landfill and to recycling facilities for construction and demolition waste and organics. The Public Recycling Center takes residential drop-offs of batteries, cardboard, electronics, scrap metal, small appliances, paint, used motor oil, and antifreeze. The Transfer Station takes household and business solid waste, green waste, tires, concrete, clean fill dirt, and mixed demolition debris. Hazardous waste, aerosols, and sealed containers are refused.
