Trash, Recycling and Organics Collection Will Continue on Regular Schedule

Harrison Industries will maintain its regular trash, recycling and yard/organics waste collection schedule in Ventura County during the week of Independence Day, June 28 to July 4, 2026.

Independence Day falls on Saturday, July 4, this year, so there will be no changes to Harrison’s regular collection schedule.

Residential customers should place their trash, recycling and yard/organics waste carts at the curb on their regular collection day.

Remember: All Three Carts Can Go Out Every Week

Harrison’s residential customers can place all three carts curbside every week. Harrison collects trash, recycling and yard/organics waste weekly, including food waste, which is recyclable.

Food waste should be placed in closed paper or plastic bags before being tossed into the organics waste cart. This helps prevent contamination because food waste and yard waste are processed separately.

Even if you only have bagged food waste and no yard waste, you can still place the food waste bags in your organics cart and take it to the curb every week for pickup.

Make Food Waste Recycling a Weekly Habit

It is important to recycle food waste every week and make it part of your regular household routine.

In 2022, the State of California began requiring the diversion of food waste from landfills. Harrison customers play an important role in helping meet these requirements and supporting a cleaner, healthier environment.

Food waste recycling is the law, but it is also vital for the environment. When food waste breaks down in landfills, it emits methane gas, a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Thank You for Doing Your Part

Thank you for your role in the success of Harrison’s food waste recycling program. By placing bagged food waste in your organics cart every week, you are helping reduce landfill waste and protect the environment.

Harrison Industries will maintain its regular trash, recycling, and yard/organics waste collection schedule in Ventura County during the week of Juneteenth, June 14–20.

The Juneteenth holiday falls on Friday, June 19. There will be no delay to residential collection service during the holiday week. Customers should place their carts curbside on their regular collection day.

Regular Weekly Collection Will Continue

Harrison residential customers can continue placing all three carts curbside every week:

• Trash
• Recycling
• Yard/organics waste

Harrison collects all waste weekly, including food waste, which is recyclable and should be placed in the organics waste cart.

Reminder: Food Waste Belongs in the Organics Cart

Food waste should be placed in closed paper or plastic bags before being tossed into the organics waste cart.

Even if you do not have yard waste, you can still place bagged food waste in your organics cart and set it out for weekly pickup.

Making food waste recycling part of your regular weekly routine helps support California’s statewide food waste recycling requirements and keeps organic material out of landfills.

Why Food Waste Recycling Matters

Food waste recycling is required by law in California, but it is also important for the environment.

When food waste breaks down in landfills, it releases methane, a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. By recycling food waste every week, Harrison customers help reduce methane emissions and support a cleaner, more sustainable Ventura County.

Thank you for your continued participation in Harrison’s food waste recycling program.
