Los Altos Garbage Company has tailored our recycling and collection programs to the unique needs of the communities we serve. We provide
residential recycling and collection services to the
following service areas:

All trucks operated by Los Altos Garbage Company run on alternative fuel (either liquefied natural gas or biodiesel).

The biodiesel is B-20, a blended fuel including 20 percent biodiesel made from vegetable oil and 80 percent low-sulfur diesel.

Stricter environmental standards for diesel fuels, improved engine technologies, catalytic converters and using alternative fuels all combine to reduce truck emissions. Because we use alternative fuels, equip our trucks with superior catalytic converters, and maintain our fleet in good condition the overall emissions will measure well below legal limits.

Each year California awards companies for their outstanding efforts to reduce waste and protect the environment. It's called the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP), and is sponsored by the California Integrated Waste Management Board - the state's primary recycling agency and part of the Environmental Protection Agency. Los Altos Garbage Company has been recognized as a company that strives to reduce, reuse, recycle and buy recycle-content products as part of their environmentally preferable business practices.
