The City of Victorville is implementing a new organic waste program for all residents, businesses, and multi-family complexes in accordance with California state laws Assembly Bill (AB) 1826 and Senate Bill (SB) 1383.

SB 1383 applies to all businesses and residential accounts and requires organic waste such as food scraps and garden trimmings to be diverted from the landfill.

AB 1826 applies to all businesses and multifamily complexes with five or more units generating 2 or more cubic yards per week of solid waste.

In addition, the City adopted Ordinance No. 2425 on April 19, 2022. Ordinance 2425 added Chapter 6.37 (Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction) to the Victorville Municipal Code and mandates the separation of organic materials from businesses, multifamily complexes, and residential properties.

Are there any discounts available on the trash bill?

There is a “Hardship Rate” for Solid Waste Fees on the City sanitation bill. The "Hardship Rate" is for seniors and/or disabled customers who own and live in their Victorville homes and who meet the eligibility guidelines of the C.A.R.E. program on their electric, gas, or telephone bill. The Hardship Rate discount reduces the bill by $3.87 per month (to $39.05) for those with standard service (95-gallon trash).

Residents can also reduce their solid waste bill by reducing the size of their trash cart. Standard service includes a 95-gallon trash cart at a cost of $42.92/month. The cost for a 65-gallon trash cart is $40.04/month, a savings of $2.88 per month vs. Standard service. Those who generate a very small amount of trash, can opt for a 35-gallon trash cart at a cost of $37.58/month, a savings of $5.34 vs. Standard service. (Note: The blue Recycle cart and green Organics carts stay at 65-gallons.) Please note that extra trash carts are only available to households that have Standard service, using 95-gallon trash carts.

Residents may change the number or size of carts one time per year at no charge, but there is a $33.68 charge for subsequent changes in can size or quantity.

Customers can receive both discounts if they qualify.

All rates are current as of November 1, 2023.

To request an application for the Hardship discount or to order a smaller trash cart, call the City of Victorville Customer Service Division at (760) 955-5001.
