Trash and recycling carts in West Sacramento

Each property owner must request solid waste (garbage, recyclable material, and organic waste) service for each lot or parcel, accept the service required, and pay the proper charge for such service until the property owner notifies the city in writing to discontinue service by reason of vacancy, nonuse of the property, or transfer of ownership to another person.

Recyclables and organic waste meant to be diverted from landfill disposal shall each be separated from garbage at the source of generation.

For residential service, all garbage, recyclables and organic waste must be placed in containers provided by the city or city's collector, except that yard trimmings and cardboard may be bundled and leaves may be placed in a compostable bag outside containers.
