Waivers

In certain situations, waivers can be granted for compliance with mandatory organic diversion.  You can download these forms and send them via email or regular mail.

Special Conditions – there are two possible waiver conditions.  A property can apply for both conditions under both MCR and MORe/AB 1383.  To this, please use the Special Conditions Waiver Form in English or Versión en español. 

• Lack of space – Lack of sufficient space in multifamily complexes or businesses to provide additional organic recycling bins.
• Low volume generation – Where an organization generates:
  • two (2) cubic yards or more of solid waste per week and the generation of organic waste is 20 gallons or less per week.
  • less than two (2) cubic yards of solid waste per week and generation of organic waste is 10 gallons or less per week.

Alternative Services – there are three possible alternative service conditions

Businesses and Multi-Family Units that choose not to use the Environmental Resources Division services and instead rely on a third-party hauler, self-haul, or back-haul their waste, must annually certify what materials are diverted from the landfill, how they are diverted, and provide estimated diversion quantities.  Furthermore, 3rd party haulers operating within the City of Oxnard city limits must also fill out this form to self-report their diversion activities.  

To do this, please use the Alternative Service Certification Form in English or the Versión en español.

You can also email this form or mail it via regular mail. 

Special Condition waivers are granted on a case-by-case basis and must be verified every five years. Alternative Service waivers are required to be submitted annually.  To begin the waiver process, please complete the form below, and send it with supporting photographic evidence to recycle@oxnard.org.  To send via regular mail, please send it to:
