Sec. 22-1. - Title and purpose.

This chapter shall be known as the "waste, recyclables, and organics regulations." Its purpose is to regulate the collection and disposal of solid waste, recyclables, organics, and other materials from residential and commercial premises in the unincorporated area, to provide for the issuance of exclusive franchises for the removal of solid waste, recyclable materials, and organic waste (with specified exceptions) and to establish other regulatory requirements in connection with these purposes. The California Integrated Waste Management Act governs the management of solid waste and recyclable materials. (See California Public Resources Code §§ 40000 et seq. and accompanying regulations. This chapter of the Sonoma County Code supplements, and implements portions of, state law.)
