We encourage diversion from the landfill.

There are lots of local resources for reducing and reusing the items we're ready to get rid of. 

• Have larger items that are still in decent shape? Try Habitat for Humanity, they might even pick up certain things. 
• How about e-waste? Perhaps iFixit can get you the hard to find parts, and share the know-how, to get it done.
• Otherwise, most e-waste is accepted free of charge at our Cold Canyon Landfill, and some local retailers. 

Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our community clean and green!

To arrange for pickup of bulky items (not free) you must first call 805-543-0875.
Bulky items will not be picked up unless you call first.

 California's State Organics Law

Under California state law, residents of SLO County are required to participate in curbside organics recycling. This is an easy step to add to your routine: simply place all kitchen food scraps in your curbside green bin, and they will be composted locally!

Recycling your food scraps in your green bin helps our community make organic compost, and is one of the easiest things you can do to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. When compostable materials, such as food scraps, are sent to the landfill, they create greenhouse gas emissions like methane, a pollutant over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Emissions of methane are responsible for about 20 percent of the global warming now driving climate change, and about 20 percent of methane emissions in California come from landfills.

What can go in my green bin? 

Generally, all organic waste should be placed in your green bin. Organic waste just means anything that came from plants or animals that's thrown away. This includes:

• Food scraps: fruit, vegetables, bread, pasta, meat, poultry and cheese
• Coffee grounds
• Meat and fish bones
• Food soiled paper products (like paper towels, napkins & pizza boxes)
• Yard trimmings
• And more!

Questions about what can go in your bin? Check out IWMA's recycling guide, or give them a call at (805) 782-8530.

Please don't include 'compostable' plastics, including plastic/bioplastic bags. Despite being labeled as compostable, plant-based plastics are difficult for our local composters to process, and they belong in the trash.
