Organics
- California law requires any business, public entity, or apartment building with five units or more, that generates more than 4 cubic yards of solid waste per week to divert their organic waste.
- Please place all approved organic materials in your green organic waste container. No "compostable" or plastic bags are permitted, as they do not break down in our digestor system.
- This material will be converted into electricity and soil amendments at the Kompogas Anaerobic Digestor right here in San Luis Obispo.
Recycling
- California law requires any business, public entity, or apartment building with five units or more, that generates more than 4 cubic yards of solid waste per week to have a recycling program.
- Please do not bag recyclables. Plastic bags get stuck in our sorting machines, creating hazards for our operators. Paper bags are ok, loose items are preferred.
- Please empty and break down all cardboard boxes.
