Salinas Valley Recycles

Organization Description

What We Do?

SVR is responsible for providing secure long-term solid waste disposal and resource recovery service to all of its members in an environmentally sound and cost-effective manner. To accomplish this goal, SVR currently owns four landfills and two transfer stations, and oversees the operation of these facilities.
