Recycling & Solid Waste

RSW News & Updates

The Recycling and Solid Waste Division provides garbage, recycling, organic waste collection and street sweeping to more than 133,000 residential customers in the City of Sacramento. The division collects approximately 250,000 tons of waste and material, and sweeps more than 150,000 miles of public right-away every year. Yard waste comprises 80,000 tons of the annual material collection, with about 25,000 tons picked up just during leaf season. Recycling amounts to 35,000 tons of material a year.

The Division also manages several programs and initiatives including the new organics recycling curbside program implemented in July 2022, Sutter's Landing Park (the old landfill), reusable bag ordinance, Solar Park at Sutter's Landing, and other projects.

If you need to contact the Recycling and Solid Waste Division for a service request, call Customer Service at 3-1-1 (916-264-5011 outside City limits) or email us at sacrecycle@cityofsacramento.org

Upcoming Holiday Services

When disposing of charcoal briquettes, they must be fully extinguished and cold before being added to the garbage. Briquettes that are still warm can start a fire when put in the garbage container, or even inside the garbage truck.

After the BBQ is finished, spread out the coals so they do not touch.
Let the coals go cold overnight before adding them to the garbage container.

For grills that use propane, the tank should be fully emptied and brought to the City’s hazardous waste facility for free disposal.

After the barbecue, please recycle your leftovers and food scraps, including any bones or meat. You can place all food waste into your organics container.

City waste collection services will occur as usual on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, 2024 and Independence Day, Thursday, July 4, 2024.
