Unincorporated Santa Clara County contracts with Recology, GreenWaste, and other haulers for weekly trash, recycling, and organics pickup in compliance with SB 1383.
Santa Clara County's unincorporated areas receive weekly curbside collection service under franchise agreements with haulers like Recology South Bay, GreenWaste Recovery, and Mission Trail Waste Systems depending on geographic zone. Residents receive three carts: gray for trash, blue for recycling, and green for organics (food waste and yard waste combined). California's SB 1383 organic waste law, effective 2022, requires all residents and businesses to subscribe to organics collection service and divert food scraps from landfill. Trash and recycling pickup are scheduled the same day each week; carts must be placed at the curb by 6 AM on collection day and removed within 24 hours. Extra trash beyond cart capacity requires pre-purchased overflow tags. Missed pickups can be reported directly to your hauler for next-day recovery. Hazardous waste, electronics, and paint cannot go in any cart and must be taken to the county's Household Hazardous Waste facility.
