                                                                       Our Mission  

California Recycle Solution Inc., is a Non-profit 501 (C)3 Dedicated to create an awareness of the recent California State Law to eliminate toxic waste in our environment;

To educate and involve our communities of the proper recycling of those substances by providing a convenient containment system and transportaion device for the safe disposal of fluorescent lamps and batteries.

                               Company Profile and Goals

 California Recycle Solution Inc. is a non profit 501(C)3 corporation in the State of California.

The president is John Burnett. Our corporate office is located in Orange, California and we also have division offices in San Francisco and Portland Oregon. 

The company was established in June 2004 with the sole purpose of developing a vehicle in which spent fluorescent lamps and batteries could be stored and transported to a local recycle location, therefor diverting from landfills.

 After several months of discovery and research we concluded that small business owners as well as homeowners were unaware that the spent lamps and batteries that they were discarding contained toxic elements such as mercury. It then became our goal to develop an awareness system that would also act as a transportation device and containment system in the event of accidental breakage.

Ultimately, the MDS bag was developed and patented to meet the criteria outlined above. The bright orange sleeves for fluorescent tubes measures approximately 3.5” wide and is available in lengths that would accommodate linear lamps up to eight feet as well as pouches that would house compact fluorescent lamps (CFL’S) and batteries. The bag construction is a mixture of polymers that is not only puncture resistant, but exhibits suitable resistance for containment. The system also utilizes a tape closure at its opening to insure a permanent seal.

Our goal is to develop a consumer awareness device that would become synonymous with lamp and battery recycling. This, we feel, could be accomplished by utilizing contacts in the recycling industry as well as consumer awareness programs that would include several types of media i.e.; public broadcasting, press releases, private local and state announcements.

Our studies indicate that approximately three million lamps and many more batteries are disposed of in California landfills every day. Our current objective is directed at diverting 10% of these discarded items from homeowners and small businesses over a period of the next twelve to sixteen months through an effective outreach program along with providing convenient drop-off locations throughout the State of California. 

Thank You for your participation in our program.
