Oxnard mandates recycling and organic waste diversion under California SB 1383. All residents and businesses must separate recyclables and organic waste. The city provides blue recycling and green organics bins as part of standard service.
California SB 1383 requires Oxnard to divert 75% of organic waste from landfills by 2025. All residents receive blue recycling bins for paper, plastic, glass, and metal, and green bins for yard waste and food scraps. Commercial businesses and multifamily properties with 5 or more units must also have organic waste collection service. Contamination of recycling bins with non-recyclable materials causes processing problems and may result in service warnings. AB 341 requires businesses generating 4 cubic yards or more of waste per week to have recycling service. Oxnard's waste reduction goals include promoting source reduction, reuse, and composting alongside curbside collection programs.
Businesses failing to provide required recycling and organics collection face penalties under SB 1383 enforcement. Residential contamination of recycling bins may result in educational tags and eventual service warnings.
