Recycle From Home, a recycling service focused on collecting California Redemption Value (CRV) beverage containers in that state, has announced its expansion into the city of Huntington Beach, California.

Costa Mesa, California-based Recycle From Home says it will collect both CRV containers and obsolete electronics in Huntington Beach, a Southern California city of about 200,000 people.

The service provider says it offers “a seamless and user-friendly experience” through which residents can schedule pickups of CRV-eligible glass and plastic bottles and aluminum cans, as well as discarded electronic items such as cell phones and computers.

Recycle From Home calls the inclusion of electronics collection “a critical component” of its initiative, saying such discarded items can contain hazardous materials that can harm the environment if not disposed of properly.

“By ensuring these items are recycled responsibly, Recycle From Home helps prevent environmental contamination and promotes the recovery of valuable materials,” states the company.

“The response from Huntington Beach residents has been overwhelmingly positive, with the program gaining momentum and setting a precedent for other cities to follow,” states Recycle From Home.

The collection service says it can partner with local community not-for-profit groups and enable their customers to donate their recycling redemption proceeds “to support the organizations that matter the most to them.”

Recycle From Home says that by offering at-home collection services beverage containers and electronic scrap it aims to increase recycling rates and reduce the amount of recyclable material that ends up in landfills.

In addition to Huntington Beach, Recycle From Home says it currently serves residents in Corona, Costa Mesa, Coto De Caza, Irvine, Ladera Ranch, Laguna Niguel, Las Flores, Midway City, North Tustin, Orange, Rancho Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Riverside, Rossmoor and Trabuco Canyon, California.

HUNTINGTON BEACH- The fourth-seeded California beach volleyball team was defeated in heartbreaking fashion by No. 3 seed USC 3-2 Friday at the inaugural MPSF Championship in Huntington Beach.

The Golden Bears (27-9) took the four-time reigning national champion Trojans (25-9) all the way down to the final set of the elimination match, which featured two three-set battles and four sets that went to extra points. USC outlasted Cal with a three-set win on court five to even the season series at 1-1 and advance to the semifinals of the conference tournament.

After USC claimed court four, Cal's court one pair of sophomore and junior Portia got the Bears on the board with its 27th victory of the season, which tied the program's single-season pair wins record.

The Trojans answered with a two-set win at the No. 2 spot to retake the lead but once again Cal was there to quickly even the dual. This time it was the court-three pair of seniors and , which after falling in the first set bounced back to win the next two to keep its team alive.

The dual came down to the fifth court where senior and junior won the first set in extra points, but lost the second frame, which also went to extras. With the match and the MPSF Championship on the line, USC came out firing in the third set and never looked back to win the dual and advance to the next round.

Cal now has its sights set on Sunday's NCAA Selection Show, which airs at 10 a.m. PT on NCAA.com, to see if it will be headed to its fourth straight NCAA Championship in Gulf Shores, Alabama.

“It doesn’t bring out the best surfing.”

The Battle for Los Angeles ’28 was a turn few saw coming. The City of Angels was awarded the Olympic Games in 2017 though the initial thrill quickly gave way to pitched partisanship. Namely, where would the surfing portion be contested? Lemoore, California attempted to throw its CAT hat into the ring but it was quickly yuck-yuck’d by International Surfing Association leader Fernando Aguerre. Hawaii was floated except not seriously, which left San Clemente and Huntington Beach.

Supporters of each burgh dug right in, attempting to win the nod with Huntington Beach emerging as the early betting favorite. Alas, Surf City backers had no idea that San Clemente had a plant in the planning committee’s war room, resident of Lower Trestles and former CEO of USA Surfing Greg Cruse.

The Mickey Rooney doppelgänger sat down with the San Clemente Times, recently, sharing how he pushed the Spanish Village by the Sea over the line, praising its assets, before breaking out a blowtorch and burning Huntington Beach to the ground.

“In late July and early August (the Olympic window), Huntington is either flat or you’re dealing with sweeping south swells that wall up through the pier,” Cruse maliciously shared, continuing, “It doesn’t bring out the best surfing.”

Wow.

Necessary, you think, to go scorched earth after victory has already been achieved?

Cruse continued roasting the rubble by adding, “Almost every surfer I spoke with wanted it here (at Lowers). This is where they train. This is the wave that raised them.”

Burn baby burn.

The plan, as it is now, is to provide room for 4000 spectators and rope off snowy plover nests.

Very cool.
