Victorville, Calif. Distributing Organic Recycle Barrels to Residents

Residents of Victorville, CA. who have curbside trash services will soon receive a barrel to be used for garden trimmings and food scraps.

Victorville Disposal will deliver new, green barrels to single-family residents in December, which can be used for organic waste immediately with pickup starting on their service day the following week.

Yard and garden waste can be thrown into the barrel loosely; however, food waste should first be placed into plastic bags. The garden trimmings and organic waste will be taken to the Victor Valley Facility where it will be converted into compost and mulch products. Some materials may also go to anaerobic digesters to be converted into renewable natural gas.

Free compost will be available to City residents.

The city of Victorville is implementing its new residential recycling organics program to comply with the mandates of SB 1383.
