Every Lodi residence receives a blue-lidded recycling cart serviced every other week by WM; accepted materials include cans, glass, plastics #1-#7, cardboard, and paper, with contamination triggering cart upsizing under California AB 341 and SB 1383 commercial mandates.
Lodi provides mandatory single-stream curbside recycling through WM in compliance with the California Integrated Waste Management Act and the Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law (AB 341, Public Resources Code §42649 et seq.). Residential blue carts are collected biweekly. Accepted materials per the City of Lodi recycling page: aluminum, steel and tin cans; glass bottles and jars; plastic containers and bottles labeled #1 through #7; corrugated cardboard boxes (flattened); newspapers, magazines, junk mail, and envelopes. Residents may request up to two additional blue carts at no extra charge. Plastic bags, polystyrene/Styrofoam, food-soiled paper, and yard waste are NOT accepted in the blue cart (yard waste belongs in the green organics cart; polystyrene must be disposed of as trash since Dart Container's local polystyrene facility closed). Commercial generators of 4+ cubic yards/week of solid waste must subscribe to recycling service under AB 341. WM trucks are camera-equipped to monitor contamination; repeat contamination results in mandatory upsizing of the trash cart at the customer's expense rather than removal of recycling service.
Per Lodi's SB 1383 enforcement protocol, recycling contamination is documented by in-truck cameras. Two or more contamination notifications result in the resident being automatically upgraded to the next-larger trash cart size, increasing the monthly bill. Commercial AB 341 non-compliance is enforced by CalRecycle and can result in state-level penalties.
