The Solid Waste Department, in cooperation with the CARC Farm Rainbow Recycling Center, operates three (3) recycling drop-off sites for residential use and recycling curb-side collection routes are available to commercial and other non-residential customers only.  In addition, the Solid Waste Department recycles all the City's green waste into mulch useful in various applications ranging from land application to combining them with biosolids to produce compost.  The Department also recycles large and small tires into tire bales.  These bales can be used in various ways.  Carlsbad has used them extensively as filler for erosion control structures, saving a lot on materials alone.
