Davis requires all residents and businesses to separate recyclables and organic waste from trash, mandatory since 2016 and reinforced by California SB 1383. Recology provides unlimited recycling and a weekly organics cart at no extra cost.
Statewide SB 1383 requires everyone in California to recycle organic waste, including food scraps, food-soiled paper, yard material and cardboard. In Davis, separating recyclables and organics from trash has been mandatory since 2016, and DMC Chapter 32 with SB 1383 requires all residents and businesses to use recycling and organics service. Recology Davis provides unlimited recycling and one 96-gallon organics cart serviced weekly at no extra cost. Covered food-generating businesses must contract with a food recovery organization to donate surplus edible food and keep records. Self-haulers must keep recyclables and organics out of the landfill. Under SB 1383, the city issues a Notice of Violation for violations after Jan. 1, 2024 and assesses fines if not cleared within 60 days.
Failure to use recycling and organics service, contaminating carts, or failing to arrange edible food recovery violates SB 1383 and DMC Chapter 32. The city issues a Notice of Violation and assesses fines if uncleared within 60 days
