I've been using this place since I was a kid. This place is the most easy and stress free waste resource facility in the Bay Area and the prices are very fair. The employees are also excellent. You are in and out at this place and there is nothing but positive vibes.

Dump review. Been coming here 20+ years and the current staffing is the best yet. Prices are fair and these people do a great job of sorting & recycling what would otherwise end up in a landfill. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Where Can I Recycle stryofoam?

L. S. | Dec 1, 2021
Marin Resource Recovery Center | Dec 1, 2021

Hi L.S. - Marin Sanitary Service does not recycle Styrofoam as there are very limited markets / buyers of this material as styrofoam is mostly air and is often soiled by food waste. In fact, a majority of curbside recycling programs do not accept styrofoam. After consulting recyclefoam.org, the closest location that accepts styrofoam in the Bay Area is: Burlingame Eco-Center 1831 Bayshore Highway, Suite 2 Burlingame, CA 94010 Phone: (650) 493-8700 x 103 Hope this helps.

Check with your waste hauler to see if they offer curbside pick up of bulky items (if you are in Marin Sanitary's collection area, you can arrange for this by calling customer service at (415) 456-2601). If this is not available you can bring the mattress to our facility where clean mattresses are recycled. There is a fee to drop off a mattress. Please contact (415) 485-5646 for current rates.
