The Healthy RC Green Living Guide provides important information to help you make all of the places you call home - Earth, Rancho Cucamonga, and your own four walls - a greener and healthier place to live. Green Living is Easy When You Know Your Three R's Green living promotes a healthy Earth through the practice of the three R's- reducing, reusing, and recycling. These three practices work together by mitigating our everyday impact on the environment, and protecting our own health as well. *Reduce — Consuming in excess creates waste in more ways than one. Drinking two io ounce bottles of regular soda each day contributes an extra goo -ggo calories or the equivalent of eating one to two fast food hamburgers. You can reduce your plastic bottle and caloric consumption if you fill a reusable bottle with thinly sliced fruit and water and quench your thirst with that Instead. *Reuse — Find new homes for things that are still usable and begin long -term commitments with durable versions of items you can use repeatedly such as coffee mugs, shopping totes, and water bottles. You will be helping the environment and saving money in the long run. Annually, Americans spend about Sib billion on bottled ,+ water, which is predominantly the same water you get from the tap. This is more than what Americans spend on !Pods and movie tickets. *Recycle — Recycling conserves natural resources by taking existing material and re- manufacturing it Into something else. Recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to power a TV for three hours. it Practicing the three R's can also help people within our own community. This guide not only provides information on how to dispose of your unwanted items In an environmentally safe way, but provides Information on local organizations that can benefit from reusing or recycling these items. This guide will help you put the three R's into practice with useful tips, phone numbers and other information so you can make Rancho Cucamonga a greener, healthier place to live.

The Healthy RC Green Living Guide Preserving and Conserving Water Stormwater Pollution When water flows off our streets, it carries trash, oil, and other pollutants with it through the storm drain system and local waterways, to the Santa Ana River, and eventually to the Pacific Ocean. These bodies of water are used for recreation, groundwater recharge, and are home to local wildlife. Keep stormwater pollutants out of the storm drain system by: • Placing litter in the trash can or recycling container, not down a storm drain or Into the street. • Using pesticides and fertilizers only when necessary and never allowing them to be washed into the street by rain or sprinkler runoff. • Rinsing water -based paints off of painting equipment in the sink instead of the curb. • Sweeping up yard clippings and placing them into your green Livestock Owners Livestock owners may unknowingly contribute to stormwater pollution by allowing manure to flow off their property. Once In local waterways, the manure breaks down and pollutes the water. Help prevent pollution by: • Diverting runoff away from livestock areas to reduce the chance of runoff contamination. waste container, not into the street. • Cleaning up oil spills with an absorbent material and then taking it to a local household hazardous waste collection facility (see page 6). • Taking left over paints, oils, cleaners, yard chemicals, automotive fluids, and other toxic products to a local household hazardous waste collection facility (see page 6).

The Healthy RC Green Living Guide Business Programs Business Recycling Recycling can help your business's bottom line by identifying inefficient consumption and waste disposal. Diverting recyclable material from your regular trash may reduce your disposal service expenses because disposal costs for recyclables are lower than for trash. Businesses can contact the City of Rancho Cucamonga's Environmental Programs Section and request a site visit to conduct a waste audit. A waste audit looks for potential ways to divert or reduce waste such as switching cardboard box disposal from a trash bin to a recycling bin, and recommending reusable instead of disposable cups In the break room. For a free waste audit, call the Environmental Programs Info Line at (909) 919 -2635. Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Program The City Is required by state law to reduce the amount of material that is hauled to landfills. To reach this goal, the City has developed the Construction and Demolition Diversion (C &D) Program which provides an incentive to encourage the diversion (recycling or reuse) of materials. Anyone who applies for a building permit for large projects is required to submit a C &D Program form and deposit. The deposit Is refundable if at least 50% of the waste is diverted from landfill disposal, and the applicant provides the required documentation. In addition to the deposit, there is also an administration fee to compensate the City for all expenses Incurred. Amounts of the deposit and fee vary with the size of the project. Projects that are exempt from the C &D Program deposit are single - family residential homes that are four units or less, construction projects less than $100,000 in value, roofing projects that do not include a tear off of the existing roof, and work that requires only plumbing, electrical, or mechanical permits. City staff and Burrtec Waste Industries can assist you with completing your reporting requirements. For more Information, call the Environmental Programs Info Line at (gog) 9i9-2635• NOTE: Burrtec Waste Industries is the ONLY business permitted to haul solid waste in the city. No unauthorized collection containers are allowed.
