As Super Bowl festivities get underway, San Francisco is hosting numerous special events, and Recology collection drivers are working night shifts so the city can start each day ready to welcome enthusiastic fans.
Recology drivers serving key locations are starting their collection routes at 10 PM to help minimize traffic disruptions while emptying recycling, composting, and landfill bins at major venues like the Moscone Center, Bill Graham Auditorium, The Embarcadero, and Pier 80, as well as commercial corridors.
Collectors are also making multiple passes, in addition to their regular rounds, to empty public litter cans on blocks projected to receive extra foot traffic. To further support these initiatives, Recology is deploying extra collection routes. And Recology is dispatching rover trucks that can respond quickly where needed to empty refuse containers.
Recycle Central, the large recycling facility Recology operates on San Francisco’s Pier 96, is fully staffed, and workers are sorting and baling additional materials.  These efforts support cleanliness and sustainability. Locals and visiting revelers coming to San Francisco for Super Bowl week are encouraged to use special recycling and composting event boxes at venues across the city.
Taking a moment to be better at the bin keeps materials out of landfills and conserves valuable resources. That helps protect the environment and supports a circular economy, which benefits everyone.
