Kitchen Pails Now Available for Pick-Up
at Public Works
|
|
|
|
Free kitchen countertop pails are now available for pick-up from the Public Works Department.
Kitchen pails are being offered to collect food scraps for organic waste recycling through a grant that the City received. The City's organic waste recycling program will begin January 1, 2023. At this time, all food scraps should be placed together in your organic waste container (formerly the green waste container).
Residents interested in obtaining a free kitchen pail can stop by the Public Works Department at 495 Industrial Drive, Monday - Thursday, between the hours of 12:00pm and 5:00pm. One pail per household is available while supplies last.

In September 2016, Governor Brown signed into law SB 1383, establishing methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP). |
|
SB 1383 targets are...
- a 50% reduction of organic waste disposal in landfills by 2020
- a 75% reduction of organic waste disposal in landfills by 2025
- a 20% rescue of current waste surplus food by 2025

What is organic waste?
Organic waste includes any and all food, food scraps and food byproducts, yard and landscape waste, lumber, and paper products.
What will happen to diverted organic waste?
Organic waste will mostly be turned into compost or used in anaerobic digestion to create renewable energy.
What is food rescue?
For commercial food service businesses, surplus edible food must be donated to food recovery organizations instead of thrown away. This will help feed the almost 1 in 4 Californians who are food insecure.
|
|
Who is affected?
Everyone; residents, multifamily properties and apartment complexes, businesses, non-profits, and public agencies will all need to comply with the new law and have an organics recycling program.

With help from the Parks & Rec. Department, Cal-Waste held a Monster Mash Halloween party for the area's Special Teens and Adults Recreation Program (STARs). Participants of the program got to enjoy pumpkin decorating, a costume contest, and of course dinner and candy!
Thank you to the Galt Parks & Rec. Department for your help in facilitating this event, and thank you to all of the people that help in the monthly STARs events!
