Caglia Environmental

Happy Halloween from Caglia Environmental! 🎃 This Halloween, let's remind ourselves of our responsibility to the environment. Remember, items like batteries and lightbulbs don't belong in curbside bins. And if your decorations survived the night, pack them up for next year! You'll save money and help keep waste out of landfills. Don't let Halloween waste haunt you! 👻 #halloween #happyhalloween #recycling #hazardouswaste

Caglia Environmental is excited to support Fresno and Madera Counties by offering free disposal for campaign materials and signs after the election. Starting November 6, 2024, residents can bring campaign signs, along with metal and wooden stakes, to our Cedar Avenue Recycling and Transfer Station (CARTS) at 3457 S. Cedar Avenue. Hours of operation: Monday – Friday 7 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Saturday 7 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Please remember to keep campaign materials separate from other trash to avoid fees. Let’s work together for a cleaner community!

FRESNO & MADERA COUNTY: Caglia Environmental will offer FREE campaign sign disposal starting Nov. 6! Metal/Wood frames accepted. Separate trash to avoid fees. Do your part to keep our community clean. 🗳️

FRESNO & MADERA: Monday, October 14 is Indigenous Peoples' Day. Our locations will be open and curbside collection will be on their regular schedule. Please have your containers out and ready on your normal service day.

We are excited to celebrate Arissa Flores, a future Fresno State graduate! She just completed her Public Health Internship at C.A.R.T.S. Over the past 6 weeks, Arissa explored many areas of the waste industry. She worked on projects that showed the impact of waste on the environment. When we asked her about her biggest takeaway, she said, “Solid waste is not something to think lightly of. Our impact on the environment is huge.” What’s next for Arissa? She plans to finish her degree in Environmental Occupational Health and Safety. After that, she wants to become a Safety Specialist. Please join us in congratulating Arissa on her achievements, and wishing her luck in the future!

Reminder to rinse your plastic containers before tossing them in the recycling bin! Even a quick rinse helps prevent contamination and keeps other recyclables clean. You can remove most of the residue with water—your container doesn't need to be spotless. A cleaner container makes it easier for your local recycling facility to process. Do you rinse your containers before recycling them? Comment below!
