Marin Sanitary Service provides the citizens of Marin County with a clean, enclosed environment for the disposal of solid waste called the Marin Resource Recovery Center.

The Resource Recovery Center is an indoor facility the size of approximately three football fields. Here we accept all types of non-hazardous commercial and residential solid waste including yard waste, dirt, rock, concrete, demolition debris, large appliances, and other debris.

Each month, the Resource Recovery Center processes nearly 3,000 tons of recyclables using state-of-the-art equipment. A customized system of screens, conveyors, blowers, magnets, and hand-sorting separates dirt, sand, metal, wood, concrete, paper, and other materials for recovery. The Resource Recovery Center is perhaps the most sophisticated recycling facility in the country. Visitors from around the world come to observe our state-of-the-art facility.
