Camarillo's solid waste collection is regulated under CMC Chapter 9.04 (Integrated Waste Management). The city contracts with a franchised hauler for residential curbside collection of trash, recycling, and green waste. SB 1383 requires organic waste diversion through green waste and food scrap recycling.
CMC Chapter 9.04 establishes the framework for solid waste management in Camarillo. Section 9.04.030 requires all residential properties to have collection arrangements with the city's franchised hauler, with limited exemptions. Section 9.04.040 designates authorized collectors. Residential service includes separate bins for trash (black), recyclables (blue), and green waste/organics (green). California SB 1383 requires organic waste recycling including food scraps starting January 1, 2022, and CMC 9.04.054 mandates organic waste recycling. Section 9.04.052 requires commercial recycling. Collection occurs weekly on designated days per neighborhood. Section 9.04.020 addresses origin and storage requirements, mandating that solid waste be contained in appropriate receptacles. Section 9.04.090 prohibits scavenging from residential containers. CMC 9.04.112 prohibits commingling green waste with other solid waste. The city provides periodic bulky item pickup and hazardous waste collection events.
Failure to maintain collection service violates CMC 9.04.030. Illegal dumping is prohibited under CMC 9.04.120. Contaminating recycling bins with non-recyclable materials may result in service warnings. Contact the city's waste hauler or Public Works for service questions.
