[USCC] green waste-food waste co-collection

[Edo McGowan]

Several years ago, Santa Barbara had home-owner separated recyclable materials. You might contact The Resource Recovery and Waste Management Division within the Santa Barbara County Public Works Department, Tel (805) 882-3600 Fax (805) 882-3601, Office hours: 8:00am - 12:00pm and 1:00pm - 5:00pm Monday - Friday. Within that Division, there is the Multi-Jurisdictional Solid Waste Task Group. The Task Group is designed to provide the communities within Santa Barbara County with a forum to discuss and plan long-term solid waste management and did some extensive studies on this subject about 5 years back. They produced several reports.
