Showing ordinances that apply to Lockeford, CA
Lockeford is an unincorporated community (population 3,333) in San Joaquin County, California. Because Lockeford is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, San Joaquin County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The recycling requirements rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Curbside recycling and SB 1383 organics diversion are mandatory in unincorporated San Joaquin County for all single-family, multifamily, and commercial generators. Blue cart accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles, metal cans, and rigid plastics #1–#5. Green cart is for yard waste + food scraps. Contaminated carts are skipped.
San Joaquin County's franchise residential program accepts the following in the blue recycling cart: clean paper and cardboard (broken down), aluminum and steel cans, glass bottles and jars, rigid plastic containers labeled #1 PET, #2 HDPE, #3–#5. Plastic bags, plastic film, Styrofoam, and to-go cups are NOT accepted curbside — plastic bags go to grocery-store take-back bins. Under California SB 1383 (effective January 2022), all residential and commercial generators must divert organic waste, which is handled through the green cart: yard trimmings plus food scraps (meat, dairy, and cooked foods acceptable). Commercial generators over specified thresholds must also arrange for edible food recovery and donate surplus to food recovery organizations. Multifamily buildings of 5+ units must provide both recycling and organics collection to tenants per CalRecycle rules. CRV containers (aluminum cans, plastic and glass beverage bottles) carry a 5¢ or 10¢ deposit redeemable at certified recycling centers — most residents forgo redemption and place CRV in the blue cart.
Contaminated blue or green cart: tag/skip; repeat contamination $25–$100. Multifamily or commercial failure to provide organics service: CalRecycle/county penalties escalating to $500/day after January 2024. Putting organics in trash: warning first, then fine.
