Los Banos, CA Trash & Recycling: Recycling Requirements (2026)

01 as a step toward the diversion goals of AB 939. 02 defines recyclable material broadly to include aluminum cans, glass, newspaper, mixed paper, steel and tin cans, cardboard, and authorized plastics, a list the Director of Public Services can update administratively as markets change without amending the chapter. 03, participation is mandatory for every single-family and multi-family resident who receives City refuse containers, and the recycling fee rides along with the refuse collection rate; residents keep the right to sell or donate their own CRV material to a redemption center instead of the curbside container, so long as they still participate in the program overall.

04 gives the Director of Public Services authority to write administrative rules for day-to-day operation, but reserves rate-setting to the City Council. 05. 06(b). 11 rather than fixed in the code itself. 12 routes any violation of the chapter into the administrative citation process of Title 4, Chapter 11 of the Municipal Code.
