As a part of the Public Works Department,
Environmental Services is responsible for the planning, developing and
implementation of citywide programs, which include solid waste management and
household hazardous waste management.
The Public Works Department is proud of
its commitment to Environmental Services. Last year of our community generated
over 120 tons of waste, through the effort sour management, and with the help of
residents and business alike we managed to recycle 42% of this waste…this was
great, but we can’t rest there.
The City and its residents place a great value on preserving precious resources
that is why we believe it is important to offer programs that promote a healthy
environment and improving Inglewood’s quality of life.
In order to provide the City with quality services and to comply with the State
of California’s, Solid waste Reduction Goal of 50%; we are working diligently to
enhance the community’s recycling opportunities. Our plans for the near future
are to implement Residential and Business Curbside Recycling, Construction and
Demolition handling along with green waste reuse and composting activities. We
feel comprehensive and convenient opportunities will allow the community to put
waste in its proper place.
Beyond managing waste and debris after it has been generated we will work on
emphasizing the importance of waste avoidance, Remember: Reduce, Reuse and
Recycle.
