Smart Truck in the Residential Sector

When organic and recycling materials are dumped in landfills, they create air pollutants and methane, a climate super pollutant. Senate Bill 1383 addresses this issue by increasing standards for diverting organics and recycling from the landfill.

In order to do our part, and to address neighborhood issues like odor and litter, the City is launching Smart Truck. This program uses cameras on garbage trucks to ensure residents are sorting their waste properly, and avoiding overfilling their carts. For more details, please take a look at this Smart Truck Fact Sheet, as well as this FAQ.

Do your part by reviewing the West Sac Sorting Guide! Here are a few tips to get you started:

1) Did you know that plastic bags do not belong in the recycling cart? It's true! Simply dump your recyclables into the cart, no bag needed.

2) If you regularly overfill your recycling or organics carts, order a few more at no cost. Limit four per type. 

3) If you find you don't need such a big trash cart, reach out to WM to get a smaller one and save money each month! See "Contact" section above.
