Tracy residents will pay $74.19 a month for residential garbage collection when 2026 rolls around. The city of 95,000 was the first in the region to put in place a system designed to comply with a looming state mandate to divert 75 percent of a city's food waste from being buried at landfills by 2025. Tracy contracts its waste collection to a private firm. The Manteca City Council Tuesday set in motion steps to comply with more robust California recycling requirements and landfill diversions as well.
