Council moves to introduce housekeeping updates to Ripon’s garbage code

Aug 11, 2026

Staff presented housekeeping amendments to chapter 8.12 to align the municipal code with current solid-waste operations, authorize permitted collectors in some rural areas, codify a large-item collection program, and extend the annual brush collection end date by one week with a potential $5,000 fiscal impact.

The full story

Mr. Peace told the council the proposed ordinance is mainly housekeeping for chapter 8.12 of the Ripon Municipal Code and is intended to align code language with current solid-waste operations and state requirements. Key changes include allowing permitted waste collectors to serve select rural residential areas within city limits, codifying the existing large-item collection program with eligibility and scheduling rules, and extending the free annual brush-collection end date from January 7 to January 14.
