Citrus Heights residents and businesses must separate recyclables and organic waste from trash under California SB 1383 and AB 1826/AB 341. Republic Services provides blue recycling and green organics carts. Food scraps and food-soiled paper must go in the green cart, not the trash.
California's Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Reduction Act (SB 1383) took full effect January 1, 2022 and requires all residents and businesses to separate organic waste (food scraps, food-soiled paper, yard trimmings) from landfill trash. Citrus Heights implements SB 1383 through its franchise with Republic Services, which provides a green organics cart accepting all food waste, food-soiled paper (napkins, pizza boxes), and yard debris. The blue cart accepts commingled recyclables: paper, cardboard, glass bottles, metal cans, and rigid plastics #1-#7 (no plastic bags, film, or Styrofoam). Mandatory Commercial Recycling (AB 341) and Mandatory Organics Recycling (AB 1826) apply to businesses and multifamily properties. Edible food recovery under SB 1383 Tier 1 and Tier 2 obligates supermarkets, wholesale food vendors, restaurants, and hotels to donate surplus edible food to recovery organizations.
CalRecycle can fine jurisdictions for noncompliance; Citrus Heights may issue warnings and escalating administrative fines to non-compliant businesses and multifamily properties.
