Solid Waste
Effective November of 2005, residential garbage, recycling and green waste services are provided by the District through a contract with California Waste Recovery Systems (CWRS). The District replaced Sacramento County as the provider. The contract with CWRS provides for additional services at a reduced rate and helps maintain stable rates in the future.
The exit agreement with Sacramento County requires a $1.07 per month customer surcharge (with CPI adjustment) for continuing services such as integrated solid waste management planning and reporting, clean up of illegal dumping on County roads, post landfill closure maintenance and monitoring, and continued use of Kiefer Landfill.
Collection days are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, depending on your street address. The midweek collection days avoids having containers left out by residents traveling over the weekend. Green waste and recycles are collected on alternate weeks, as was with Sacramento County. Garbage is picked up weekly. Hours of collection are no earlier than 7:00 a.m. and no later than 5:00 p.m.
Originally, CWRS planned to remove "universal waste" along with regular household waste. In 2006, new state regulations were enacted which require permits from both the California Integrated Waste Management Board and the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control. Included in universal waste are items such as batteries (excluding vehicle batteries), televisions, electronic devices such as computers, telephones, answering machines, radios, CD or cassette players, temperature control devices containing mercury, fluorescent lamps, etc.
