The Sacramento Regional Solid Waste Authority (SWA) is a joint powers authority of Sacramento County and the City of Sacramento.

BUSINESS RECYCLING The SWA Board adopted a Business Recycling Ordinance at its March 8, 2007 meeting requiring businesses who subscribe to garbage service of four (4) cubic yards or greater per week to have a recycling program. The ordinance became effective April 8, 2007.
