Interested in being an Orange County recycling star?
First, make sure you recycle right! Visit the 'What Goes In My Blue Recycle Cart? page for more information. Second, if your household receives two star stickers in a row, you will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to a local farmer’s market, $50 Visa gift card or an Earth Machine Composter! In addition, yard signs will be offered to households that receive at least two orange star stickers (while supplies last).
The Stars program will help create awareness of the need to recycle right and ultimately reduce the contamination rate in the County’s single-family curbside recycling. Based on the 2019 recycling composition study, the overall contamination in the recycling stream was about 15%.
