GreenTeam of San Jose collects garbage and recycling carts in the western and central parts of San Jose with trucks powered by compressed natural gas. These trucks are powered by a cleaner burning alternative fuel made entirely in the U.S., and provide our community with cleaner air. The trucks also have a larger collection capacity to reduce the amount of trips to the landfill and recycling center for unloading. The mileage and emissions are reduced in comparison to the split body trucks.
Free Junk Pickup collections include items like refrigerators, furniture and other large items.
