2022-2024 Solid Waste Rates
*New Food Waste Service and Rate
Collection of residential food waste has been mandated by the State of California to begin in 2022. When implementation of this collection program starts, the City plans to have customers dispose of food waste in their yard waste container starting July 1, 2022. The proposed organic waste rates include the addition of food waste. However, there are some customers who do not receive City yard waste collection services due to an exemption. These customers will still need to dispose of food waste separately from garbage that is collected on a weekly basis, and they will be provided a new food waste only container which will be dropped off to their residence. This proposed rate is for customers who will receive only food waste services and no yard waste services. The rate will be charged when the collection program starts in July.
