Refuse Collection / Recycling
The City of Cotati contracts with Recology to provide collection of refuse, recyclables, and yard waste. To start or stop service, or for questions about your account, contact Recology by telephone at 800-243-0291 or by email at csonomamarin@recology.com.
Mandatory Commercial Recycling
With the passage of AB 341 (Jobs and Recycling) on October 6, 2011, businesses are required to recycle. The purpose of the law is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting commercial solid waste to recycling efforts. Subject to the law are businesses that generate 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week and multifamily dwellings of 5 units or more. See the Sonoma County Waste Agency website for more information.
