Schools and Institutions

Full Circle Recycling Company

has an extensive list of schools and institutional recycling customers in the LA, Orange, and San Diego County regions. Our schools include both public and private institutions, from one-room schools to university campuses to whole school districts, and we provide numerous programs to churches and temples as well. On the institutional side, we offer programs to public agencies and numerous non-profit organizations.

Service Set-up

The specific set-up for many institutional customers is identical to that explained in our offices: interior section. Please also see the bins page for an idea of the types of bins we supply with our programs.

For school programs, most have one centralized staging area where we our trucks collect materials, and various stations throughout the school where students and staff can place their materials. Most schools opt to have their own classroom bins, and either transport that material to the main staging area where we collect, or they place materials from the classrooms into the station bins which are then taken to the staging area. This network of stations and classroom bins leads to an efficient, participatory, and cost-effective program. In some cases, if your staff is limited, we can collect from various stations on your campus. Most schools either use our 95-gallon carts or 3-yard dumpsters for the main staging areas, and smaller 14-gallon boxes or 30-gallon bins for the classrooms. See bins. Some schools opt to use their own paper boxes (such as Xerox boxes) with creative designs made by the classrooms or other students.

Our hours of operation for collections are from 7:30am - 3:00pm daily, but we can accommodate your schedule if we need to avoid student drop-off and pick-up times.

What We Recycle

Our uniformed truck driver collects directly from your bins on a regularly scheduled day, ranging from monthly service on up to daily service, if needed. A truck is in your area every day.

Service Costs

Fees in most cases range from $39.00 - $109.00 per month depending on the frequency of collection and number of stations requested. Please contact us for specific rates for your program. We have significant discounts for multiple tenants in a building and also for adding multiple addresses of the same business. Remember that there are no contracts required with our service, so you can make changes or cancel service at any time.
