Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency
Welcome
The Agency strives to provide information related to Tehama County’s solid waste programs, plans, elements and progress towards reducing the amount of waste entering the landfill, and conserving natural resources while protecting human health and the environment.
Notice is hereby given that the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency will receive sealed proposals for Household Hazardous Waste Management Services. Proposals will be accepted at the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency administrative office, 20000 Plymire Road, Red Bluff, CA 96080 until 4:00PM PST on August 5, 2024. Specifications and proposal forms for submitting the proposal may be obtained here.
While some counties, such as Tehama County, are exempt from full compliance until January 1, 2027, teams of people such as Paul Freund have been working across the state to educate and prepare businesses and residents for the staggered rollout of the new regulations.
As Organic Materials Program Coordinator for the Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency, Freund most recently helped the county’s Tier 2 edible food generators—large restaurants and schools with cafeterias—meet a January 1, 2024 deadline for edible food donations.
“We’re working with several schools and cafeterias on waste sorting,” Freund says. “One school has compost bins to divert food scraps from the cafeteria.”

Daniel Dempsey has been operating Tehama County Gleaners and Food Bank for the last 11 years in Red Bluff. The organization dates back to the 1980s and has been working to help combat hunger and food waste within the county ever since.
Tehama County Gleaners and Food Bank is partnered with Feeding America and its community food pantry provides food items to households experiencing food insecurity. This organization supplies critical nutrition to hungry individuals and families that are in need. It also serves as a resource for families in need of emergency food.
Not only does Tehama County Gleaners and Food Bank help feed the hungry, it also helps reduce the amount of food waste that gets thrown away.
“At the end of the week, whatever is not taken from our pantry is given to pig farmers to feed to their livestock,” explained Dempsey. “We don’t throw anything away and there is no waste.”
