Listen to Olivia Sanchez (Riverside County Department of Waste Resources), Sandi Salas (Riverside County Department of Environmental Health), and Liz Hernandez (Desert Valley Disposal) speak about the new recycling & organics recycling services roll out.
County Ordinance 745 requires all commercial businesses and multifamily residential dwellings within the unincorporated county to subscribe to a three bin collection service, which consists of trash, recycling and organic recycling. This ordinance requirement is supported by Assembly Bill 341 (passed in 2012) requiring recycling services and Assembly Bill 1826 (passed in 2016) requiring organic recycling.
There are potential waivers for self-hauling, de minimis waste, or lack of space for bins. If you feel you qualify, please contact Riverside County Department of Environmental Health Solid Waste Program at (951) 955-8980 or LEA@rivco.org.
