Residential Franchise System
Welcome to SANTA CLARITA VALLEY
 
Overview
Residents in the County unincorporated area of Santa Clarita Valley receive trash, recycling, organic waste collection, on-call bulky item pickups, an annual curbside clean-up event, community clean-up projects, a senior discount for qualifying residents, holiday tree collection, roll-out services, clean fuel collection trucks to reduce air pollution and noise, and other waste management services. For more information, please see the subscription form. On November 16, 2021, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopted the Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction Ordinance. The Ordinance ensures everyone does their part in diverting organic waste and edible food from landfills to reduce emissions of methane and the impacts of climate change. The Ordinance is also required per State Senate Bill 1383 regulations. The Ordinance requires all businesses and residents in the County unincorporated communities to subscribe to organic waste collection services. Self-hauling is also allowed under certain circumstances.
 
Collection Service
Basic service includes weekly service of three 96-gallon carts: one black cart for household trash, one blue cart for recyclables, and one green cart for organic waste. Additional carts beyond the basic three 96-gallon carts are available for a fee.

Other services are also included, such as bulky item collection, excess trash collection, and excess green waste collection (upon 24-hour request), an annual clean-up event, mulch and compost giveaway events, holiday tree collection, and more. Please see the Subscription Form for more details.
 
Additional Information
Starting August 1, 2022, services in the Santa Clarita Valley include organic waste collection service to comply with California Senate Bill 1383. This requires residents to place food waste in the green organic waste cart. Plastic bags are required. For more information on organic waste recycling, please click here: FightFoodWasteLA.org.
