In addition, they will have to pay for it to be picked up.
Mayor Gavin Newsom signed the Ordinance 081404 last week, according to his office, and it will go into effect in late September of this year.
The ordinance will affect both the residential and commercial sectors of the city, requiring the separation of garbage into blue for recyclables, green for compostables, and black for landfill trash.
