Santa Ana, California-based Recycle From Home says it will soon be rolling out its residential and commercial “Pick up and Pay Recycling Program” in the city of Orange, California, about 30 miles from Los Angeles.
Recycle From Home says its service has been designed to make it easy for residents and businesses to recycle cans and bottles, adding that its service ensures recyclables are properly recycled while also ensuring participating residents and business owners receive their California Redemption Value (CRV) funds for bottles and cans covered under the state's deposit-return system.
Those funds can be received by participants via Venmo, PayPal or as a check sent by mail.
Recycle From Home can communicate with its customers via a mobile app where they can schedule pickups and request supplies such as recycling bags and tracking labels. It also offers customers pickup times that best accommodate their schedules.
Collected cans and bottles are transported and weighed daily at Recycle From Home’s processing center. The CRV redemption value is then calculated and processed for payment.
“We’re really excited to expand our program with the city of Orange and provide the residents of the community with a convenient way to get paid for their cans and bottles,” says Ryan Bloom, president of Recycle From Home.
Recycle From Home's concept of a mobile residential and office recycling service was selected and approved as part of a California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery pilot program in 2020.
Its first city partnership was with the city of Irvine, California which, like Orange, is in Orange County. Recycle From Home now is serving multiple cities in southern California.
