Vineyard residents and businesses must separate food scraps and yard waste into the green organics cart per California SB 1383 and Sacramento County Code §6.20. Effective January 2022 for all residential and commercial generators.
California SB 1383 (Lara, 2016) mandates statewide diversion of organics from landfills, implemented in Sacramento County under SCC Chapter 6.20. All single-family residents must place food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste in the green organics cart. Multifamily and commercial generators must also subscribe to organics service. Edible food generators (Tier 1: supermarkets, food distributors; Tier 2: restaurants) must donate edible food to food-recovery organizations. Sacramento County conducts route-based cart inspections; contamination triggers warning tags.
Contamination warnings (first round). Repeat contamination after warning: $50-$100 per occurrence. Knowing failure to subscribe to organics service: up to $500/day under CalRecycle enforcement.
