July 2022 update on SB1383 & AB1826Food waste collection service for businesses and residences in Nevada County, Grass Valley and Nevada City is on the way.
Until announced, keep putting your food waste in your trash, and keep it out of the green waste cart!California State Laws SB1383 & AB1826 require collection of organic materials such as food scraps, and food-spoiled paper in addition to landscape trimmings. Nevada County currently does not have the infrastructure to support these laws at the scale needed until the transfer station update project is completed. Food diversion updates will be provided by WM of Nevada County and your local government.
If you would like to practice food diversion now, donate unopened edible food to community food banks and start composting in your yard or find a farmer to give your scraps to.
