What goes where
Blue: bottles, cans, paper, cardboard — clean and dry. No plastic bags.
Green: food scraps, yard trimmings, food-soiled paper. Santa Monica’s organics program meets SB 1383.
Black: everything else, bagged. Extra black refuse needs orange bags.
Orange bags
Overflow refuse goes in orange City bags — sold in 5-packs.
$65.80 / 5-pack
