Residential Waste Collection

Overview

The City of Santa Barbara requires all single family residential properties (1-4 units) to subscribe to trash, recycling and yard waste collection services.  Food waste and other non-yard waste organics are allowed in the trash and are recovered at the Santa Barbara County ReSource Center to comply with SB 1383.

To start, stop or change service, please call MarBorg Industries at 805-963-1852.
