Tip of the Month

Daylight saving was on March 13th, and we gained an hour! If you are turning on your irrigation system, check for leaks and aim to have it on before 10am in the morning or 6pm in the evening to maximize water retention and minimize water loss due to evaporation.

SB 1383: Organics Recycling Update

Last month, businesses were sent a letter about the new recycling and/or organics services coming their way. While rolling out the bins has taking a little longer than anticipated, they are coming!

Fortunately, residents have had organics since 2018. Those that do not have these services will receive a letter and be automatically enrolled in the coming months.

SB 1383 is a climate action bill aimed to reduce climate pollution and emissions from organic waste decomposition generated in landfills. By diverting organic waste, such as yard trimmings, food scraps, and compostable paper from the landfill and composting these materials instead, we are able to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create nutrient-rich soil amendment to add back to our lands and soils.

All customers will need to separate their organics and recyclable materials into the correct containers. Placing green waste or food waste into the trash and/ or recycling containers is prohibited. To view a list of acceptable items to place in the organics cart, click here or use our Waste Wizard to search for specific items and how to dispose of them.

Visit cityofwoodland.org/SB1383 to learn more about SB 1383 and access our resources such as flyers, free commercial indoor bin program, and other helpful information.

Green Waste Reroute

Green waste street pile collection services and street sweeping days have changed for some Woodland residents. If your service day was changed, you should have received a postcard in the mail from Waste Management.
