Business Recycling GuideThe County of San Bernardino produced a guide to assist businesses in establishing or expanding their business recycling. This guide provides business owners and management the tools to facilitate source reduction, reuse, recycling, business waste characterizations and other templates to sustain a recycling program along with other references and contacts. The guide allows a business to take ownership of their recycling program through methods and worksheets for planning, preparation, implementation and program maintenance. |
The assessment is a free service to all businesses, non-profits and schools located in the unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County. Click on the envelope below to email us.  |

The San Bernardino
County Board of Supervisors recognizes that prosperity and economic
development cannot be achieved at the expense of our environment.
The County must strike a balance between development and
environmental stewardship to keep our economy strong and, at the
same time, protect our environment.
In August 2007, the Board of Supervisors launched Green County San Bernardino to spur the use of “green” technologies and building practices among residents, business owners and developers in the County. Please click on the Green County San Bernardino logo for more information!  |

The Department of Public Works Solid Waste Management Division partnered with the California Integrated Waste Management Board to bring you
SBCountyMAX. This online database provides free classified listing service to help communities find markets for materials that would otherwise be discarded. Schools, non-profit organizations, and businesses and individuals can place available ads for materials that may be reusable or recyclable or wanted ads for items such as used equipment, supplies and office furniture.
