Monterey Park : Bids for Curbside Recycling

The City Council on Monday decided to put its curbside recycling contract out to bid instead of granting it to current waste hauler Athens Disposal.

Monterey Park’s recycling program will be citywide, rather than phased in, and will allow single-family residents to combine recyclable aluminum, glass, newspapers, cans and bottles in one container for pickup once a week. The City Council will also require the hauler to deposit trimmings from city parks and medians in compost bins.
