Don't forget the changes in
your garbage pick-up
January 1,
2006 is the date that the City’s garbage ordinance changes go in
to effect. Discussed in this column two months ago, I described
how the changes will affect the residents of Riverbank. The
entire column can be located in the
Archives 2006, but I
will give a brief summary here.
Items to be placed in your gray toter (the recycling can)
include green (yard) waste, paper, and cardboard. Limbs or
branches should be cut short so they fit inside the can with the
lid closed. Any cardboard should be broken down and made flat;
this will leave more room in the toter. Yes, your Christmas
tree can be cut down and placed inside the gray toter.
Items to be placed in your black toter will include your
normal household garbage, plastic, metal, and aluminum if you
don’t recycle at a recycling center. The Oakdale Recycling
Center located at 1477 South Yosemite Avenue in Oakdale is the
nearest center and they pay cash (CA redemption) for aluminum,
glass, plastic, cardboard, and non-ferrous materials (aluminum,
copper, brass, etc.)
Your black toter and gray toters will now be picked up at
the SAME DAY – EVERY WEEK. Gilton Solid Waste Management is
the City’s carrier and they have purchased new trucks that keep
the garbage separated from the yard waste and paper. You should
put both toters curbside the night before your pick-up day to
insure their collection by the truck. If your cans are not
picked up, call Gilton directly at 527-3781.
Further information regarding the garbage ordinance is
available in the Archives, and in the City Clerk’s office.
What is this page about?
This page will focus on City
Codes, State Laws, and other items that may be of interest to
our residents and visitors. Codes and State Law vary from
City to City and State to State, and we are hoping this section
will help take some of the confusion out of our daily practices. Most articles that
appear here will deal with the Riverbank City Code of
Ordinances, which is available for residents to examine in the
City Clerk’s office located at City Hall – North, 6707 Third
Street, Riverbank or you can access the Code via our website
from the City Council page (click on Municipal Code).
