Standardizing Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Statewide

In 2022, California will enact a law aimed at standardizing waste collection and recycling across the state. One of the provisions of the law, SB 1383, requires all trash, recycling, and organics carts to be a uniform color throughout the state. Presently, trash carts in the District are burgundy, recycling are gray, and organics are green. That will change to charcoal for trash, blue for recycling, and green for organics. The Board has approved $6.5M to purchase new carts. Distribution is set for late spring or early summer.
