Are
You RECYCLING?

most residents and businesses in Daly City are
not. In Daly City only 19.3% of garbage is getting
recycled! The statewide average is 37%. State law requires
communities to recycle or divert 50%! Failure to do so
could result in heavy fines, as much as $10,000 a day,
which could mean higher garbage bills for everyone.
