Recycle From Home™ is a program in Rancho Santa Margarita that allows residents to recycle their cans and bottles from the comfort of their own homes.

The program was inspired by 13-year-old recycling advocate Ryan Hickman. Instead of having to take their recyclables to a redemption center, residents can now have them picked up and get paid for them.

Collection bags and QR code tracking labels are provided to help sort the recyclables. Drivers are scheduled to collect the items at a chosen time, ensuring they are recycled within 24 hours.

The items are weighed and redemption is calculated based on current rates. The funds are then sent to the residents via Paypal, Venmo, or a mailed check.
