Lodi residential customers receive single-stream recycling and organics (green-waste plus food scraps) collection from Waste Management, in compliance with California SB 1383 organic-waste recycling requirements. Mandatory residential and commercial organics separation took effect statewide January 1, 2022.
California SB 1383 (Public Resources Code §42652.5 et seq.) requires every jurisdiction to provide residents and businesses with organic-waste collection or self-haul access, reducing landfilled organics 75% statewide by 2025. In Lodi, residents are provided with a green-waste/organics cart from Waste Management and may include food scraps along with yard waste. Single-stream recycling accepts paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and containers, glass, and metal cans together in the blue cart. Hazardous waste, electronics, and bulky items are not accepted in regular service — Lodi residents can use the Central Valley Recycling/Lodi Transfer Station or scheduled WM bulky pickups.
Failure to properly separate organics from trash is a state-mandated requirement; persistent contamination can result in non-collection and, for commercial generators, enforcement under SB 1383 implementation by the jurisdiction.
