What goes in my green waste bin?

If you have a green waste bin, continue to place yard and non-treated wood waste into your green waste bin. In unincorporated Placer County, your food waste should be included in your trash bin; only yard and non-treated wood waste should go in your green waste bin.

In areas without green waste bins, such as rural areas, green waste dumpster rental or drop off options are available through your hauler. The Placer County Chipper Program is another resource to reduce your greenwaste through onsite vegetation chipping.
