SB 1383: Recycling Organic Waste

Food waste collection service for businesses and residence in Grass Valley is on the way.

Until announced, keep putting your food waste in your trash, and keep it out of the green waste cart!

California State Laws SB1383 & AB1826 require collection of organic materials such as food scraps, and food-spoiled paper in addition to landscape trimmings. Nevada County currently does not have the infrastructure to support these laws at the scale needed until the transfer station update project is completed.

Stay tuned into communication from WM of Nevada County and your local government for food diversion updates.
