Effective Jan 1, 2016, Orange County will only pick up garbage once per week.

This article from the Sentinel provides info about the change, including “residents in unincorporated Orange County will receive two 95-gallon carts — one with a green lid for garbage and the other featuring a blue lid for recyclables such as aluminum cans, cardboard, glass bottles, plastic milk cartons and paper products.”

Remember, residents in HOAs like ours will need to make room in garages or find a place to store these 2 large carts out of sight. Specifics on trash can storage can be found on page 38 of our Declaration.

Update: Here is the official Press Release from Orange County.
