Be Proactive

If you have potential code violations on your property, you don't need to wait for a warning or citation to clean it up. If you have already received a warning or citation, there are resources to help you bring your property up to code.

CalRecycle and the Neal Road Recycling and Waste Facility offer free programs that will accept many items such as mattresses, electronic waste, paint, and even construction debris.

Northern Recycling and Waste Services offers e-waste programs and can arrange for special pickup of some items.
