Vacaville's franchise hauler is Recology Vacaville Solano. Residential customers are provided with three carts (gray garbage, blue recycling, green organics) and receive weekly curbside collection on an assigned service day. The collection calendar - including holiday observances and any one-day-slide rules - is published at recology.com/recology-vacaville-solano/collection-calendar/. The franchise area is the City of Vacaville and a portion of Solano County. California Senate Bill 1383 requires all single-family and multi-family residents to subscribe to and participate in the recycling and organics curbside collection service, and the City and Recology monitor compliance through random collection-route reviews; improper sorting triggers a notice with educational materials, and repeat issues can escalate to administrative penalties. Organic materials collected within Vacaville city limits are processed at Jepson Prairie Organics, one of the largest food-scrap composting facilities in the nation. Customers needing service changes, additional carts, or replacement kitchen pails contact Recology Vacaville Solano at (707) 448-2945.
Non-subscription and failure to participate in recycling and organics collection violates California SB 1383 and the City's local SB 1383 enforcement framework, with notices, educational outreach, and potential administrative penalties. Persistent contamination of the recycling or organics cart can result in non-collection and escalation. Improper or unsafe placement can lead to non-collection by Recology and possible Code Enforcement action under Vacaville Municipal Code Chapter 8.10.
