GREEN WASTE and CLEAN WOOD are banned from disposal by California Law.
GREEN WASTE (leaves, grass clippings, branches, prunings, etc.) and CLEAN WOOD must be:
- Separated from all other disposal materials, and
- Dropped off in the Green Waste/Wood Waste area for composting
- GREEN WASTE/CLEAN WOOD loads with small amounts of trash will be charged the Green Waste/Clean Wood rate.
*It is required to remove GREEN WASTE from bags and remove oiled, stained, painted or treated wood from CLEAN WOOD, e.g., remove treated fence posts from fence boards.
Additional fees may be added at the Scales for customers refusing to separate and drop off this material at the Green Waste/Wood Waste area.
By keeping Green Waste and Clean Wood out of landfills, we reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions, extend landfill capacity, and create beneficial mulch/compost.
