In Rocklin, trash is sorted at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) and everything that can be recycled is sorted and processed automatically without you having to sort anything. That’s why we only have one bin for trash and recycling!

Put Recyclables in Your Trash OR Bring Recyclables to the Western Placer Waste Management Authority (WPWMA). WPWMA is a regional agency that provides recycling and waste disposal services for Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville and Placer County. WPWMA operates a Material Recovery Facility (MRF), pronounced ‘murf’, located at the landfill to help Placer County meet the state’s waste reduction goals.
