Modesto sorts into separate containers as a legal requirement rather than a courtesy: state law obliges every home and business in the city to separate recycling and organic waste. Clean plastic, metal, and glass go in the blue container, while food scraps, food-soiled paper, cardboard, paper, and green waste go in the green one. Large green waste such as shrubbery and tree limbs is a separate monthly curbside pickup with its own size limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
What goes in Modesto's blue and green containers?
Clean recycling materials such as plastic, metal, and glass go in the blue container. Food scraps, food-soiled paper, cardboard, paper, and green waste go in the green container. All businesses, commercial properties including multi-family properties with five or more units, and residential homes in the city are required to separate them properly, and fines apply when they do not.
Which state laws drive Modesto's recycling rules?
Three. AB 341 requires businesses generating four or more cubic yards of solid waste per week, and multi-family dwellings of five or more units, to recycle. AB 1826 requires those businesses and multi-family dwellings generating two or more cubic yards of garbage per week to recycle organic waste. SB 1383 requires all California jurisdictions to provide organic waste collection to residents and businesses starting in 2022.
How does large green waste collection work in Modesto?
Large green waste such as shrubbery, brush, tree limbs, branches, and trimmings is picked up once a month. Limbs may not exceed six feet in length or six inches in diameter, and no single piece may weigh more than fifty pounds. Collection days are Monday through Friday, never weekends, and it can take up to a week to reach your area.
Where should green waste trimmings be placed?
At the curb adjacent to your property. Piles may not extend more than three feet into the street and must sit at least one foot from the foot of the curb. Where curbs do not exist, place trimmings one foot from the point of low drainage, and keep them away from sewer clean-outs, manholes, fire hydrants, drains, and other utility fixtures.
What will crews not collect with green waste?
Bags, boxes, building materials, cardboard, concrete, dirt, ground cover, household items, junk, plastic, rocks, scrap lumber, sod, tires, trash or hazardous waste, and tree stumps. See our yard waste guide for what belongs in a green pile.
