In the mandatory-collection areas of unincorporated Stanislaus County, owners and occupants must subscribe to weekly garbage service from the assigned franchised hauler. Three companies serve designated areas: Bertolotti Disposal (Area 1), Gilton Solid Waste (Area 2), and Turlock Scavenger (Areas 3 & 4). Collection slides one day after major holidays.
Garbage collection in unincorporated Stanislaus County is mandatory within designated service areas and is provided by franchised haulers, not the open market. The County's Solid Waste ordinance designates a mandatory collection service area covering unincorporated land with land-use classifications including "urban transition, estate, low, medium or medium-high density residential, historical, planned development, highway commercial/planned development, commercial, industrial transition, industrial or planned industrial." Within those areas, weekly service is the standard, and owners or occupants must subscribe with the franchise collector serving their territory. The franchise is divided into areas: Bertolotti Disposal serves Area 1, Gilton Solid Waste serves Area 2, and Turlock Scavenger serves Areas 3 and 4. Customers should maintain enough carts to avoid over-filling. Collection schedules shift one day later during weeks containing New Year's Day, Independence Day (July 4th), Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Subscribers in the unincorporated area also receive curbside recycling and two bulky-item pickups per year as part of the service. Failure to maintain service in a mandatory zone can result in financial penalties under the County's solid-waste authority. These rules are administered by Stanislaus County Environmental Resources (209) 525-6700; the incorporated cities run their own collection programs.
Not subscribing to weekly franchised collection in a mandatory service area can result in penalties under the County solid-waste ordinance. Using an unauthorized hauler instead of the assigned franchise collector is also a violation.
