California SB 1383 mandates organic waste diversion from all Rancho Cordova residents and businesses. Food scraps and yard trimmings must go in the green organics cart, and contamination in recycling can lead to service fees.
California SB 1383 (Short-Lived Climate Pollutants) requires every jurisdiction to provide organics collection to all residents and businesses and enforce participation. In Rancho Cordova, this is implemented through Republic Services green organics carts, which accept food scraps (including meat, dairy, bones), food-soiled paper, and yard trimmings. The blue recycling cart accepts clean paper, cardboard, glass bottles, metal cans, and rigid plastics numbered 1, 2, and 5. Plastic bags, film plastic, Styrofoam, and contaminated food containers must go in the garbage cart. SB 1383 also requires larger edible food generators (tier one and tier two businesses) to donate surplus edible food to food recovery organizations. Rancho Cordova residents who do not separate organics may be subject to warning tags and eventually contamination fees. Commercial businesses must subscribe to organics service unless qualifying for a de minimis waiver.
Repeated SB 1383 contamination can result in service surcharges from Republic Services and, for businesses, administrative penalties from the city or CalRecycle up to 100 dollars per day after the second violation.
