Jurupa Valley FAQ
Can I put grass clippings in the black trash cart?
No. Yard waste must go in the green organics cart under JVMC Ch. 6.77 and SB 1383. Green material in the trash cart is a contamination violation.
Can I bag yard waste in plastic before putting it in the green cart?
No — plastic bags contaminate compost. Empty the trimmings loose into the green cart. Food scraps can be in compostable or paper bags, or directly in the cart.
What do I do with palm fronds or a stump too big for the cart?
Palm fronds and large stumps don't compost well and aren't accepted in the green cart. Cut to fit and schedule a bulky-item pickup with Burrtec, or self-haul to the Agua Mansa Resource Recovery Center.
