City Joins New Recycling-For-Pay Program: How To Join In RSM

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — It just got easier to recycle in Rancho Santa Margarita, after the city announced the arrival of new pilot program Recycle From Home.

According to the city, the Recycle From Home program allows residents to get paid for recycling their aluminum, glass and plastic cans and bottles without leaving the comfort of their own home.

Residents who sign-up in the program will be supplied with collection bags and barcode tracking labels. After the bags are filled, a pick-up time can be scheduled online and the collection bags may be left outside for pick-up within 24-hours, the city said.

Additionally, Recycle From Home will weigh out each collection bag in order to calculate the resident's recycling redemption based on current CA CRV rates. Funds will be send to residents electronically or via check, the city said.

For more information and to sign up for this service, residents can visit www.RecycleFromHome.com or download the Recycle From Home mobile app to get started.
