SB 1383 requires all residents to subscribe to regular collection services for trash, recycling, and organics (yard waste and food waste). Residents must separate their recycling materials and organic materials from the trash. Below, you will find information on subscribing or changing your service levels, sorting materials, and contacting the City of Moorpark’s residential waste hauler, Waste Management.

Service Rates

Moorpark residents are billed bi-monthly, during odd-numbered months. Service charges will vary based on the size and quantity of trash carts you subscribe to. Click the following link for a full listing of the solid waste service rates.

If you have any questions about your service or wish to start service or make changes, please contact Waste Management at (805) 522-9400.

Discounted rates for seniors (62 years and older) and smaller (or fewer) bins are also available by contacting Waste Management and showing proof of eligibility.

Knowing the three Basic Rules of Recycling and putting them into practice will help you recycle more efficiently.   

Please follow the instructions on the container lids, which indicate accepted and prohibited materials, as Waste Management works through transitioning containers to the standardized, state-mandated color-coded system through 2036.  If your lid is outdated or does not match the current guidelines, please contact Waste Management to request a container swap.

Residential Containers

Container lids are color-coded based on what goes inside them and are available in multiple sizes as depicted below. 

• Green Organics; available in 64 and 96 gallons
• Blue Recycling; available in 32, 64, 96 gallons
• Grey Trash; available in 64 and 96 gallons

Yard and Food Waste - Green Container

Effective January 1, 2022, residents can place organic waste (including compostable kitchen scraps) along with yard trimmings into the GREEN organics container. To make sorting, processing, and recycling as efficient as possible, Waste Management requests that residents refrain from bagging yard waste such as branches, grass clippings, leaves, etc. However, food scraps such as eggshells, coffee grounds, meat, etc. are required to be bagged in a paper, plastic, or light-colored plastic bag (NO black bags) and placed into the organics container with the yard waste. Please see the specific requirements below to find out what organic waste is accepted.
