The Royal Recycling and Transfer facility was approved by the Planning Commission in May 2015, and allows for the operation of a materials recovery facility at 14001 Garfield Avenue.

The facility will be totally enclosed and will feature state-of-the-art equipment to receive , process, and transfer source-separated recyclables, residential curbside recycling materials, and municipal solid waste. When Royal Recycling is functional, the transfer facility now located across Petterson Lane will only process green waste, construction debris, and self-haul waste.

The Environmental Impact Report was certified at the May 2015 Planning Commission meeting. Click here to see a copy of the report.

The City of Paramount has created an Environmental Portal on the internet, a website providing facts and information to residents and businesses about our City's environment.

The site, which will be evolving as far as presentation and data, focuses on the areas of air and water. The City seeks a balance of residential, commercial, and industrial opportunities; however, in all cases, a clean and safe environment must come first. Please visit at paramountenvironment.org.

A line up of Paramount productions - from the city, not the movie studio - is now on the video-streaming website YouTube. Shows highlight such things as public presentations at City Council meetings, special community events, an oral history of the our town, and other Paramount profiles.
