Fremont, CA Trash & Recycling: Yard Waste Collection (2026)

040 to include untreated and unpainted wood plus yard waste such as prunings, brush, leaves, or grass clippings, while specifically excluding palm fronds; the city can add other materials to that list at its discretion. 100, but landscaping contractors often self-haul debris directly from a job site instead of leaving it for curbside pickup. 360 puts a paper trail on that practice: a contractor who transports landscape debris by self-haul must keep a record of the amount delivered to each facility, operation, activity, or property that processes or recovers it, and the record is subject to city inspection on request.

The required documentation includes delivery receipts and weight tickets from the receiving entity, and the amount of material in cubic yards or tons transported to each entity, broken out by date. If a receiving site has no scale, or one that cannot weigh the self-haul vehicle, the contractor does not have to record the weight but must still keep a dated log of which entities received the debris. The recordkeeping duty exists so the city and the Alameda County Waste Management Authority can verify organic waste is actually reaching a permitted composting or processing facility rather than a landfill, supporting the diversion targets adopted under the chapter's SB 1383 implementation article. General chapter enforcement under Article VI, including inspection and right-of-entry authority for the community services director, applies to a contractor's compliance with this section.
