Promoting Sustainable Solid Waste Management and Recycling in the Salinas Valley

What We Do?

SVR is responsible for providing secure long-term solid waste disposal and resource recovery service to all of its members in an environmentally sound and cost-effective manner.

To accomplish this goal, SVR currently owns four landfills and two transfer stations, and oversees the operation of these facilities. SVR is also responsible for overseeing future landfill siting or expansion to meet the area’s long-term solid waste disposal needs.

To reduce the amount of waste by promoting individual and corporate responsibility.
To recover waste for its highest and best use while balancing rates and services.
To transform our business from burying waste to utilizing waste as a resource.
To eliminate the need for landfills.
