Green Organics Program

San Ramon

Extra yard trimmings bags can be purchased from ACI and placed next to your green organics cart on collection day (only ACI bags are accepted). Residents subscribing to 64- or 96-gallon Organics service may also request one additional and/or a larger cart (up to 96-gallons) at no additional charge.
