The City of Oakland's Recycling Program
Recycling every day, at home, at work, and at play, is an easy and rewarding practice. By adopting recycling and waste reduction habits, you can reduce pollution and fight climate change. Help Oakland recycle more by making a habit of recycling paper, cardboard, cans and bottles, and batteries, and by eliminating wasteful habits. The Recycling Program oversees the garbage and recycling services, provided by Waste Management of Alameda County and California Waste Solutions, and works to ensure that recycling is widely available.

We are responsible for the park grounds, medians, city landscapes and routine building maintenance of park buildings. Park maintenance includes litter pickup and removal, pruning, weeding, turf mowing, irrigation system repairs, and planting.
A recent article in AAA's Via Magazine included Lakeside Garden as one of the "top 5" gardens in California.
Volunteer Opportunities - It Starts in the Heart!
The beautification of the City of Oakland is dependent on many groups working together. Oakland's Public Works Agency, in partnership with our community, provides an opportunity for individuals, neighborhood groups, civic organizations, employee groups and local businesses to play an active and ongoing role in cleaning, greening and maintaining our neighborhoods, parks and creeks.
