Yard trimmings — grass clippings, leaves, small branches, and prunings — must go in the green organics cart along with food waste, per Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Chapter 6.77 (Recyclables and Organics Collection) implementing SB 1383. Green-waste in the black trash cart is prohibited; bagging yard debris in plastic for the trash cart is a contamination violation. Branches larger than the cart can be cut to fit, scheduled as part of a bulky-item pickup, or hauled to the Agua Mansa Resource Recovery Center.
Acceptable green-cart material: grass, leaves, weeds, small branches (under 4 inches in diameter and 4 feet long), prunings, untreated wood scraps, food scraps, and food-soiled paper. Not allowed in the green cart: palm fronds, cactus, treated/painted lumber, animal waste, dirt, rocks, sod, plastic bags, or pots. The compostable material collected from Jurupa Valley feeds Burrtec's regional organics processing in support of CalRecycle's SB 1383 75% organic-waste-diversion target. For large landscaping jobs, Burrtec offers green-waste roll-offs through commercial service. Burrtec also runs a free annual holiday tree collection program for residential customers.
Putting yard waste in the black trash cart, or putting non-organic material (plastic, rocks, palm fronds) in the green cart, can trigger a contamination tag, Burrtec contamination fees, and administrative citations under JVMC §6.77.140. Repeated contamination can result in service interruption.
