Community Involvement
South Tulare-Richgrove Refuse, Inc. believes in being an active member of the communities we serve.
COMMUNITY CLEAN-UP DAYS
Our company offers community clean-up days twice a year with roll-offs to collect refuse, construction debris, e-waste such as computers and televisions, and green waste. These materials are collected and determined if they can be recycled. All services at the community clean-up days are free of charge.
MEMBERSHIPS
As part of our commitment to enhancing our industry, STRR is a member of the Haulers Association of Tulare County, Kern County Rural Haulers Association, Delano Chamber of Commerce, and Delano Rotary.
Going Green
STRR is committed to setting the standard for environmentally responsible operations. The truck fleet has been retrofitted to meet California’s strict standards and the company encourages recycling through education.
Customers are provided with a green can to allow for collection of yard waste, a black can for refuse, and a blue recycling can for all items that are recyclable. STRR then hauls the materials to be recycled at a Material Recovery Facility (MRF).
We collect steel, cardboard, plastic, construction waste, tires, and e-waste such as computers and televisions, and recycle accordingly.

Organics
California has enacted several laws focused on waste reduction, resource conservation, and greenhouse gas emission mitigation. Four specific laws primarily impact commercial entities and multifamily dwellings with five or more units: AB 341 (Mandatory Commercial Recycling), AB 1826 (Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling), AB 827, and SB 1383 (Short-lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Strategy). Among these, only SB 1383 applies to single-family residences and multifamily dwellings with fewer than five units.
Mandatory California Organics Law: Senate Bill (SB) 1383
In 2016, Governor Brown enacted Senate Bill 1383, establishing comprehensive standards to reduce methane emissions in California in support of climate change mitigation efforts. Food waste disposed of in landfills is among the state’s largest sources of methane, a potent greenhouse gas with significantly higher warming potential than carbon dioxide. To address this issue, the legislation aims to reduce food waste sent to landfills by 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025. This requires diverting food waste from traditional landfills into organics recycling programs such as composting or utilizing scraps for animal feed. The law mandates organics recycling practices and will become effective starting January 1, 2022.

Education and School Resources
RECYCLING EDUCATION
STRR has also collaborated with the Richgrove School District and has a recycling program to teach children about recycling. Our recycling program consists of education for kids grades K-8, on a classroom-to-classroom basis. We also distribute pencils, coloring books, water bottles, and various recyclable items to demonstrate what recycled materials can become.
