Netafim Recycling Center
Recycling Center in Fowler, California
About This Location
Netafim's California ReGen Recycling Facility at 2581 S. Golden State Boulevard in Fowler, California is an industrial agricultural-plastics recycler, not a public bottle-and-can center. It collects end-of-life polyethylene drip irrigation tape from growers, then cleans, shreds, washes and pelletizes it into recycled resin used in new tubing and other products. The program accepts thinwall drip tape only (heavywall is not currently taken), with a 20,000-pound minimum per pickup, and serves growers from Mendocino, Glenn and Butte counties in the north down to Kern and San Luis Obispo counties. It works by pickup request rather than walk-in drop-off, so individuals with household recyclables should use a CalRecycle-certified buyback center instead.
