California is leading the move from a disposable economy (where we take, make, and waste resources) to a circular economy, where products and materials stay in use for as long as possible. This shift means less waste, more reuse, and a cleaner future for all of us.

Waste isn’t just bad for the planet. It’s bad for your wallet. Every food scrap tossed in the trash and every CRV beverage container left behind is money and resources wasted. Putting your food scraps in the green bin and cashing in your empty beverage containers are smart, affordable choices that help you save money and the planet.

Social media influencers are showing that small actions can have a big impact. Check out how they’re reimagining recycling – and how you can too.
