Put Recyclables in Your Trash OR Bring Recyclables to the WPWMA
One Big BinThe Western Placer Waste Management Authority (WPWMA) is a regional agency that provides recycling and waste disposal services for Lincoln, Rocklin, Roseville and Placer County.

The Material Recovery Facility (MRF), pronounced ‘murf’, is a key element of the WPWMA's programs to help Placer County meet the state's 50% waste reduction goal. This recycling facility is where all refuse from Western Placer County is sorted to recover recyclable materials.

In Rocklin, trash is sorted at the MRF and everything that can be recycled is sorted and processed automatically. In effect, if you put recyclables in your trash, you will be recycling without having to sort anything, since this is done for you at the MRF.

MRF accepts:

  • CRV beverage containers (aluminum cans, plastic, glass)
  • Corrugated cardboard
  • Mixed paper (junk mail, magazines, phone books, etc.)
  • Newspaper
  • Grass clippings, leaves
  • Tires
  • Wood, plywood, particle board
  • Appliances (refrigerators, microwaves, etc.)
  • Electronic waste (computers, monitors, TVs, phones, radios, etc.)
  • Household hazardous waste (oil, paint, batteries)
  • Construction/Demolition waste
  • Dirt, rock, asphalt, concrete
  • Medical needles (sharps)
  • Scrap metal

  • The WPWMA Landfill and Materials Recovery Facility is located at 3195 Athens Avenue near the corner of Fiddyment Road between Roseville and Lincoln. Visit their website at www.wpwma.com for more information & hours of operation. Learn more about the Materials Recovery Facility at www.onebigbin.com.
