Organics & Green Waste
Every city and county in California is currently required to divert 50% of their waste from going to the landfill. California’s new, ambitious goal is to reduce, recycle, or compost 75% of it’s waste by 2020. The city’s residential and commercial organics recycling programs, residential green waste program, and composting resources will help Woodland and California reach our new 75% recycling goal.
