AZUSA'S SB 1383 COMPLIANCE

Starting January 2022, Azusa began using automated trash collection to comply with SB 1383 guidelines. This law requires all Californians to place food scraps, landscaping waste, and 100% fiber-based food-soiled paper in their green waste bin. This helps reduce organic waste in landfills and cuts our carbon footprint.

You may use translucent or paper bags to line your kitchen pail for easier cleanup and odor control. These bags aren't compostable but are sorted out during processing. For detailed instructions on what goes in your organics bin, go to CanIRecycleMy.com.

Please continue to do your part to help the City of Azusa meet SB 1383 requirements.
