California SB 1383 requires every Florin household and business to subscribe to organics (food and yard waste) collection in addition to trash and recycling. Sacramento County implements the state mandate through Waste Management & Recycling and contracted franchise haulers.
SB 1383 (Cal. Public Resources Code §42652 et seq.) requires statewide reduction of organic waste landfilling by 75% by 2025. Florin residents must place food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste in the green-cart organics bin. Contamination (non-organics in the green cart) violates County franchise rules. Multifamily and commercial generators have additional reporting requirements. CalRecycle audits jurisdictions; Sacramento County is empowered to issue administrative citations for non-subscription or chronic contamination.
Failure to subscribe to organics service is a Sacramento County violation. Administrative penalties begin with notice but can escalate to citation. Self-haul exemptions require documentation.
