How we work in Alameda County

In the East Bay, Green Glove Heroes runs the waste operation at multifamily communities across Alameda County, from apartments to affordable housing. Our full-time crews sort trash, recycling, and organics on-site from Sunday through Friday. Your hauler goes on doing the collection, and we audit its bill and keep your property in line with the rules Alameda County enforces.

What Alameda County asks of your property

Alameda County properties fall under StopWaste's Organics Reduction and Recycling Ordinance, which was adopted in 2021 to carry out SB 1383 locally and asks more of apartment owners than state law does on its own.

Containers have to go in all common areas in the state colors, and tenants need information before or within 14 days of move-in and again at least 14 days before move-out. Owners also have to check containers for contamination periodically and cooperate with the hauler's or city's remote monitoring, which is where camera trucks come in. If you get a notice of violation under the 2021 ordinance, you have 60 days to fix the problem before fines start at $50.

We're based in Hayward, which makes Alameda County home ground for us.

How we keep you there

Our porters are on your property six days a week, and they sort all three streams before the truck arrives. They're trained on the Zero Waste requirements of the jurisdiction they work in. We date and photograph every visit. When the city or county has something to say about your property, we show up to address it, and your hauler's or the county's zero-waste expert files the SB 1383 report while we fix what they find on-site.
