The city of Santa Clarita has awarded a new Waste Collection Services Franchise Agreement to Burrtec Waste Industries. The new agreement becoming effective July 1 includes all single-family, multi-family and commercial properties in the city.
At the same time, Santa Clarita residents will begin recycling food waste as a part of the organics program state-mandated by Senate Bill 1383. Beginning July 1, 2023, all residential properties will be required to recycle bagged food waste and loose green waste (or yard waste) in their new green, organics cart. Commercial properties that aren’t already participating in a food waste recycling program will be required to start separating this material from their waste stream as well.
There are a few important things that you should be aware of during these changes. The first is that all city of Santa Clarita residents that currently have waste services provided by Waste Management, will automatically have a new account set up with Burrtec and new trash carts will be delivered beginning July 1, 2023. This cart exchange will take place over several weeks and old carts will not be removed until new carts have been delivered.
These are big changes for our residents and businesses, so we want to make sure you are up-to-date on all the information as soon as it becomes available. Receiving this electronic newsletter is a great start!

I’m paying about $70/month to Waste Management for weekly pickups. What will be the rate. For Burtec.
I live in Belcaro, Valencia.
Question is, how much the fee is getting raised?
I know I’m not the only one asking THIS question
Will there be an increase in the fee, the cost of the service?
And if there is an increase, how much, and were customers notified?
What is “bagged food waste”. Down in SFV the new system says not to include any bags including compostable ones. What’s the difference?
Contact City of Santa Clarita for details
Do I understand it right: all
green waste (yard trimmings) must
be bagged before putting in
container? I have 8 containers
for this which I do fill all. Also
Will these containers be free as
they are now with Waste Mgmt.?
Just bagged food waste
I hope this means the city will start composting our food waste. This is a great step in the right direction!
With Waste Mgt have a tiny trash cart and medium sized recycling and green containers as the big ones are too heavy for me and I only put out trash 1-2 x’s a month.
I have senior rate with these smaller cans. Will this option continue with Burrtec as in the as in the past they too had small cans?
According to the Research.Net survey, for the smallest bins, Burrtec will charge us $24.72 each bin/per month? If correct, this is a 300% increase from Waste Management charges of $65/3 months. Please clarify.
