Recycle Laws and Regulations

Notice
Kings Waste & Recycling Authority has issued a Notice along with a flyer regarding Sate Recycling Requirements for Businesses and Multi-Family Apartments.  The purpose for this notice is to notify you, your employees, and tenants of the new state recycling requirements for businesses and multi-family apartments.

The City contracts with Tule Trash Company for refuse collection services. A separate container for the disposal of greenwaste, recyclables, and garbage will be provided. Each household must be provided with and pay for refuse service.

Refuse Rates

Containers must be placed out by 5:00 a.m. the day of collection. Refuse pick-up is made at each house once a week. Do not place cans out for collection if they are less than half full. All refuse must be placed within the container, and the container should not be placed within four feet of any obstruction as to cause interference for the Refuse trucks accessibility to the container. Do not overload or place bulky or heavy items into the containers such as pieces of concrete, large tree limbs, appliances or construction waste. The lid of the container must be closed in order for the refuse truck’s lift to work properly to empty the container. The emptied container must be removed from the street or alley the same day of pick-up.

No alley collections, beginning July 1, 2005.
