SB 1383 Waste Compliance Requirement

As a Short-Term Lodging Owner, you are required to comply with Senate Bill 1383, which mandates the use of three separate waste streams on-site:

• Trash

• Recycling

• Organics (food and green waste)

Code Enforcement is actively inspecting properties for compliance, including performing lid lifts to check for proper sorting.

What This Means for You:

If your guests fail to properly separate their waste, you may be issued a citation, with fines starting at $1,000 per violation.

To help ensure compliance, please print and post the flyer below:

• In a highly visible area inside the rental, such as the kitchen

• Near the trash bin storage area

Clear signage helps educate guests and can reduce the risk of violations.

NEW Ordinance No. 2025-3

Newport Beach Municipal Code Section 1.04.060 allows certain areas of the city to be designated as Safety Enhancement Zones to further deter municipal code violations during specific times of the year. Within these zones, fines for infractions and civil fines are tripled. A new zone was created and will be in affect for Memorial Day weekend, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekend. The West Newport Zone will now be in affect Memorial and Labor Day weekends in addition to the Fourth of July. Make sure your guests and their visitors are complying to the conditions of your permit as well as the Municipal Code.
