California rules and programs
Yard waste landfill ban
PartlyCalifornia's SB 1383 requires cities and counties to provide organic waste collection to all residents and businesses, or to require people who haul their own waste to separate organics from trash. Keep yard trimmings separate when you haul.
Some low-population and high-elevation areas have exemptions or waivers.

Secured load law
YesNo vehicle may be driven unless it is built, covered or loaded so none of its load drops, sifts, leaks, blows, spills or otherwise escapes. Only clear water and feathers from live birds are excepted.
