Summary
Redlands guarantees at least weekly trash, recycling and green waste pickup for every property under City Code section 13.64.130. Restaurants, schools with food-service cafeterias, and hotels must receive at least twice-weekly collection because they generate food waste, and the city can require even more frequent commercial pickups when public health demands it.
Solid waste, including green waste and recyclable materials, shall be collected a minimum of once a week, and all solid waste, including green waste and recyclable materials, shall be removed from the property and disposed of in such a manner as not to become a nuisance or danger to public health. Solid waste shall be collected a minimum of once each week, excepting those properties which generate food waste, such as restaurants, schools with a food service cafeteria, and hotels, which shall be collected a minimum of twice each week. The city may require a greater number of collections per week for establishments with commercial collection as deemed necessary to comply with the provisions of this chapter and for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare.
Full Breakdown
130 sets the floor for how often Redlands must pick up waste: once a week for ordinary residential and commercial accounts, and twice a week for any property generating food waste, expressly naming restaurants, schools running a food-service cafeteria, and hotels. The section also gives the city authority to require more than the minimum from any commercial account "as deemed necessary to comply with the provisions of this chapter and for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare," so a business generating unusual volume can be required onto a more frequent schedule.
270, with nonautomated customers on the same collection day as their area's automated route. 290 for set-out and set-back service, in which city crews bring the automated container to and from the collection point at no extra charge once approved.
Violations & Fines
Failing to subscribe to the required weekly (or, for food-waste generators, twice-weekly) service, or otherwise violating the collection-frequency rules of Chapter 13.64, is a misdemeanor under section 13.64.320. Redlands' general penalty at section 1.20.020 sets the range at up to six months in jail, a fine of up to $1,000.00, or both, with continuing noncompliance charged as a separate violation for each day it persists.
