The City of Folsom’s “Green Bin Approved” program complies with a new California law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and compost organic waste. Beginning July 1, 2022, all Folsom residents can add food scraps and food-soiled paper to their existing yard waste bin, now called the “green organics bin” for weekly pickup. 

All food scraps and food-soiled paper must be bagged in a clear plastic or compostable bag. Bagged food scraps and food-soiled paper will be separated from yard waste, debagged, and transferred to a regional food scrap composting facility in Yolo County. Lawn and leaf clippings should be placed loose in the bin, as usual, and are composted at regional facilities.

Some condominiums, HOAs, and other spatially constrained communities do not currently have green waste bins. The city is evaluating these properties with property managers to determine the best solution for organics service. You will be notified through the city and your property manager when organics service is starting in your community. If you have additional questions, please contact recycle@folsom.ca.us.
