The City of Davis Recycling Program is responsible for recycling outreach to 64,000 residents within the city. The City has an exclusive franchise waste agreement with Recology Davis to collect trash, recyclables, organics and yard material piles and perform street sweeping within the city limits. The Davis Recycling Program encourages the 5 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot, and Rebuy.
