California's SB 1383 requires Lynwood residents and businesses to separate organic waste (food scraps, yard debris, food-soiled paper) from trash. Mandatory commercial recycling under AB 341 and AB 1826 also applies through the city's franchise hauler.
Statewide SB 1383 mandatory organics recycling applies in Lynwood, requiring residents and businesses to separately collect food scraps, yard debris, and food-soiled paper from trash and recycling. Lynwood provides residential customers a green cart for tree trimmings and grass clippings and a gray cart for trash and recyclables sorted at a recovery facility; food scraps have been barred from the trash cart since January 1, 2022. The city also enforces AB 341 commercial recycling and AB 1826 organics recycling, covering businesses and multifamily complexes (5 or more units). SB 1383 also sets edible food recovery obligations for certain food businesses. Recycling and organics service runs through the franchise hauler at a discounted rate. Contact Public Works, ext. 801.
Failing to separate organics or subscribe to required recycling/organics service under SB 1383, AB 341, or AB 1826 can result in enforcement by the city and state. Specific bin rules and penalties are set by state regulation and the hauler.
