HISTORY: In 1962 the District was empowered to collect and dispose of residential and commercial garbage and refuse matter within District boundaries. An ordinance establishing mandatory garbage service also provided rules and regulations governing refuse disposal, fees, and services. In March 2003 the Board of Directors adopted a more comprehensive multi-cart recycling program, improving the District's ability to meet the State of California's landfill diversion mandate, AB939.

SB 1383 State Mandated Organic Food Waste Diversion
California has adopted regulations requiring the separation and collection of your household food waste. In order to meet these new regulations El Dorado Disposal has developed a program to minimize costs by allowing food waste to be collected along with your yard waste. The food waste/green waste mix will then be taken to a composting facility where it will be composted into a renewable resource.
To learn more about SB 1383 go to the Cal Recycle website here.
The El Dorado Hills CSD area will begin the food waste program July 1, 2022.
Public Announcement Released July 15, 2022
