Currents News and Updates
New State laws created by Senate Bill (SB) 1383 require significant changes to solid waste collections in the City. The most significant change is the collection of three separate waste carts for organics, mixed recycling, and trash for all residents. The most cost-effective strategy for meeting SB 1383 compliance was contracting with private waste haulers. The City is working to complete a Corrective Action Plan to ensure that all new requirements, including reporting and enforcement, are met.
