Business Recycling in Davis
- Hazardous Waste
Does your business generate hazardous waste? Do you have batteries, fluorescent light bulbs/tubes or electronics that need to be disposed of? These items, called Universal waste or U-Waste, cannot be thrown away in the trash. For more information, check out our U-Waste Guide. If your business generates other hazardous materials such as paint, pesticides, fertilizers and chemicals, the Yolo County Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator Program may be the easiest way for your business to properly dispose of its hazardous waste. -

Promote your business as environmentally friendly!
If you would like to promote yourself as an environmentally friendly business, you can request a free battery box from the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC). RBRC is a non-profit, public service organization created to promote the recycling of portable rechargeable batteries and cellular phones. Requesting a battery box from RBRC is fast and easy - just go to their www.call2recycle.org and sign up for a free rechargeable battery and cell phone recycling box. The RBRC box is small and comes with a prepaid shipping label. You can set the box near your front desk for your customers to bring in their old cell phones and rechargeable batteries. Once the box is full, you seal it, place the prepaid shipping label on the box, ship it off to RBRC, and they will send you another empty box. This program is completely free and offers a safe way to recycle batteries and cell phones, which as of this past February are illegal to throw away in the trash. All businesses that have a RBRC box are listed on the RBRC website, so you will get free advertising.
