CalRecycle, a branch of the California Environmental Protection Agency, oversees waste management, recycling, and waste reduction programs in California. Established in 2010 to replace the California Integrated Waste Management Board, CalRecycle administers the California Redemption Value (CRV) program and various other initiatives aimed at promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility across the state.
CalRecycle has made significant strides in waste management, including collecting billions of bottles and cans, millions of waste tires, and billions of pounds of e-waste for recycling. It has also facilitated the cleanup of millions of tons of disaster debris and the donation of millions of unsold meals to Californians in need. These efforts underscore CalRecycle's impact on environmental conservation and community support throughout California.
