Self-hauling is transporting your waste (In this case, organic waste and/or recyclable materials) off your property yourself instead of using J. Torres Co., Inc. collection services. Self-hauling also includes business back-hauling, when a business transports organic waste and/or recyclable materials to a destination owned and operated by the business using the business's own employees and equipment.

Per State Law and GHCSD Ordinance, customers that wish to self-haul their recyclable and/or organic waste must ensure that recyclables and organic wastes are kept out of the landfill. Self-haulers are encouraged to sort the materials onsite and then bring them to the appropriate recycling facility or compost facility (as applicable) per SB 1383.
