Many East Bay neighborhoods have garbage containers like in the above photo. Green for compost, brown for recycle, and blue for garbage. Considering that indoor office recycling bins are blue, Republic Services decided to switch bin colors to match the standards used around the country. The new color scheme will be:
black/gray = garbage, blue = recycle, green = compost
Residents in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Danville, Alamo, and Blackhawk should expect new containers by between April and July.late March
