Recycling in Redding, California

Redding asks you to hold the blue cart until it is more than half full. Cardboard has to be flattened, liners pulled, and boxes cut so they sit loose. Lids come off. Nothing is bagged, and items are not nested inside each other. Film plastic is bagged and thrown in the trash cart. Styrofoam is a separate drop-off at the transfer station, Monday through Saturday, and it still cannot go in the blue cart. California CRV is 5 cents under 24 ounces and 10 cents at 24 ounces or more.
