Camarillo requires recycling under CMC Section 9.04.052 (commercial recycling) and Section 9.04.054 (organic waste recycling). California AB 341 mandates recycling for businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of waste weekly. SB 1383 requires all residents and businesses to separate organic waste for composting.
CMC Section 9.04.052 requires commercial recycling consistent with California AB 341, which mandates recycling for businesses and multifamily properties generating 4 or more cubic yards of waste per week. CMC Section 9.04.054 implements SB 1383 requirements for organic waste recycling, requiring all residents and businesses to separate food scraps, green waste, and other organic materials from regular trash. The city provides three-bin curbside collection (trash, recycling, organics) for residential properties. Section 9.04.112 specifically prohibits commingling green waste with other forms of solid waste. Recyclable materials include paper, cardboard, plastics #1-5 and #7, glass, aluminum, tin, and other metals. Contamination of recycling bins with non-recyclable materials is a growing concern that may result in service warnings or bin rejections. California's bottle bill (CRV) provides deposit refunds for eligible containers. The city participates in the Ventura Regional Sanitation District for waste processing.
Businesses failing to recycle per CMC 9.04.052 and AB 341 may face penalties. Residents contaminating organic waste bins or failing to separate organics may receive warnings under SB 1383 enforcement. Contact the city's waste hauler or Public Works for recycling questions.
