Additional Information Concerning Green Waste Exemptions:
• Assembly Bill 939 (D-Sher, Palo Alto), signed into law in 1989, requires municipalities in the State of California to reduce
landfilled waste by 50%. On August 15, 2017, the City of Chico City Council voted to implement a franchise agreement with
Waste Management, effective October 1, 2017, to exclusively supply residential garbage, recycling and organic green waste
services in the City of Chico. As a part of the agreement, mandatory curbside green waste collection is part of a bundled three-
cart system to support the city’s efforts to comply with AB 939.
• Requests for a green waste exemption are evaluated based on the information submitted on this form and may include an
inspection of your yard by City staff who may require additional information.
• Exemptions are valid only as long as the ownership status and other conditions remain unchanged.
• Once submitted, your application will be reviewed for compliance which may take approximately 10 working days.
• If your exemption request is approved, you will be notified through the mail or by email. Waste Management will also be
notified and will be responsible for adjusting the charges on your garbage bill. You may contact them at (530) 893-4777,
Monday - Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm to check on the status of this deduction or if you have further questions.
•
• If your exemption request is denied, you will be notified through the mail or by email. Unless you provide additional supporting
evidence for approval, Waste Management will not be notified and, there will be no reduction on your garbage bill.
