Dual Recycling Containers for the City of El Monte

The City of El Monte, California is a residential and industrial city located east of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Valley. With a population of around 120,000, El Monte is the ninth largest city in Los Angeles County.

Known as the hub of the San Gabriel Valley, El Monte is ever-growing through new businesses and public improvements. With their ‘business-friendly attitude’ and international corporations, this city is a popular area for both commercial and retail businesses alike.

The state of California is currently one of 10 U.S. states to have implemented a container deposit law, commonly known as a Bottle Bill. This regulation involves including a small deposit within the price of any beverage sold in a single-use container, the amount of which is refunded when or if the container is returned for recycling. The aim is to encourage recycling and reduce littering when it comes to single-use beverage containers.
