Happy Black History Month! We’re honored to display the Black History Month flag outside City Hall in February.
Ready for some football? As you huddle with friends and family for the big game, remember that the planet needs a win, too. Be the MVP of your party by executing a recycling and composting game plan!
-
The Best Defense: Block waste from the landfill by tossing empty cans and bottles in the blue recycling cart.
-
A Powerful Offense: Score points for the planet by tossing food scraps and food-soiled paper—like pizza boxes, paper plates, and napkins—in the green compost cart.
In this game, every play matters. Thanks for being a key player in helping to create a climate-ready Fremont. We make a great team!

The City of Fremont is thrilled to highlight Brookvale Park, a charming park and community space in northern Fremont’s District 2.

The City is excited to announce the completion of a $10 million high-tech transformation for the Fremont Recycling and Transfer Station. Located at 41149 Boyce Road and owned and operated by BLT Enterprises, this facility provides essential waste, recycling, and hazardous waste services for Fremont, Newark, and Union City. Supported by a 10-year contract extension with the City of Fremont, the transformation integrates state-of-the-art technology to significantly enhance the facility’s sustainability and operational safety.
Key upgrades include:
- Pellenc Optical Sorters: Five high-volume machines use light refraction and compressed air to identify and separate paper, cardboard, and various plastics.
- Expanded Plastic Recovery: The facility now recovers polypropylene plastics (e.g., yogurt cups, bottle caps).
- Robotic Integration: One robot removes plastic film from sorted paper, while a second robot monitors the residue line to recapture any missed recyclables.
- Infrastructure Improvements: The facility features an upgraded solar energy system and modernized employee spaces and restrooms.
These upgrades will reduce manual waste handling; enhance efficiency and employee safety; and improve recycling rates by increasing the quality of recycled materials.
The City is proud to support this progress, which reflects a future-focused approach to sustainability and serves as a vital step in achieving Fremont’s waste diversion and climate action goals.
