Solid Waste
The purpose of this program is to protect the public health and the environment from the effects of improper storage, collection, transportation and disposal of solid waste including flies, rodents, scenic blight, public nuisances and water pollution. The EHD is certified by the State as the Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) for enforcement of solid waste laws and regulations within the unincorporated area of San Joaquin County and all of the incorporated cities except the City of Stockton. Activities include monthly inspections of landfill sites and transfer stations. Annual inspections are performed on refuse vehicles, cannery waste disposal, animal feeding and other permitted solid waste sites.
