Norcal Waste Systems, Inc., headquartered in San Francisco, is parent to companies providing all facets of solid waste management: collection, recycling, transfer, and landfill operations.  Norcal is proud to be 100% employee-owned and operated.  We pioneered recycling five generations ago and continue to provide the highest level of customer service in the industry - a commitment born when we established our company in 1921.

We tailor our collection services to meet the specific needs of residential and commercial customers.  We operate in urban, suburban, and rural markets.

We deliver some of the most innovative recycling programs in the country: material recovery facilities, construction and demolition debris recycling, and large-scale composting of food and organic wastes.

Our transfer stations include highly efficient operations that compact solid waste and sort recyclables.

The Artist-in-Residence Program at SF Recycling & Disposal, Inc. is an innovative program that inspires and educates people about recycling and resource conservation by providing local artists with access to materials, a work space, and other resources at our Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Center. Art is created from what would have been sent to landfills across the Bay or to recycling plants across the nation.

Each year California awards companies for their outstanding efforts to reduce waste and protect the environment. It's called the Waste Reduction Awards Program (WRAP), and is sponsored by the California Integrated Waste Management Board - the state's primary recycling agency and part of the Environmental Protection Agency. Norcal Waste Systems, Inc. has been recognized as a company that strives to reduce, reuse, recycle and buy recycle-content products as part of their environmentally preferable business practices.
