Trash receptacles and storage containers: reflective markings.
- Requires large trash containers and dumpsters to have reflective markings for roadway safety.
- Exempts containers with existing reflectors installed before January 2025 from new marking requirements.
- Mandates specific colored reflective tape for containers transported by truck and trailer.
- Imposes fines up to $1,000 for containers not properly marked within 14 days of notice.
Senator Archuleta's modification of California's trash receptacle safety requirements adjusts compliance standards for reflective markings on large containers placed along roadways and curbs for collection.
The legislation revises existing exemption criteria for reflective markings on trash receptacles and storage containers taller than four feet and longer than three feet. Containers with reflectors applied before January 1, 2025, would be exempt from current requirements mandating eight strips of specific high-performance retroreflective tape. The bill also expands color options for storage containers transported by truck and trailer to include fluorescent yellow, red, white, or alternating red and white reflective tape meeting American Society for Testing and Materials standards.
The measure maintains core safety provisions requiring reflectors on each side of applicable containers, along with owner identification and contact information. Enforcement continues through a graduated fine structure starting at $100 for initial violations and reaching $1,000 for subsequent infractions if not corrected within 14 days. Collected fines deposit into the Accident Prevention and Road Safety Fund for legislative appropriation.
