Moorpark enforces mandatory recycling under California SB 1383 and AB 341. All residents and businesses must subscribe to recycling services. Recyclables must be separated from trash. Contamination of recycling bins may result in surcharges. Commercial businesses and multifamily complexes must also comply.
SB 1383 requires all Moorpark residents to subscribe to collection services for trash, recycling, and organics. AB 341 mandates commercial recycling for businesses generating specified amounts of waste. Residents must separate recyclable materials (paper, cardboard, glass, metal, eligible plastics) from trash and place them in the blue recycling bin. Organic materials (yard waste and food scraps) go in the green bin. Contamination of recycling bins with non-recyclable items may result in load rejection and surcharges from Waste Management. Commercial and multifamily properties with 5+ units must sign up for waste collection services including recycling and organics under SB 1383. The city participates in the statewide goal of reducing organic waste disposal by 75% by 2025. Educational resources are available through Waste Management and the city's solid waste webpage.
Non-compliance with SB 1383 recycling requirements may result in state-level penalties and local enforcement action. Persistent contamination of recycling bins may lead to surcharges. Businesses failing to comply face penalties under AB 341. Contact Waste Management for recycling guidelines.
