CURBSIDE SOLID WASTE PROGRAM RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE COLLECTION: Weekly solid waste collection includes three carts supplied to you by your hauler: G.I. Industries, 522-9400 Moorpark Rubbish Disposal, 526-1919 Trash goes in your Blue cart, Recyclables go in your Gray cart, and Yard Waste goes in your Green cart. Your hauler provides these carts to ensure safe, swift, and sanitary removal of your waste. Place the carts on the curb, with the metal cross bar facing the street. Allow at least 18 inches of clearance between carts and three feet clearance from parked vehicles. Contact your hauler to order additional carts or exchange your cart for a different size. See below for guidelines on what can be recycled. Service is mandatory and must be provided by the designated franchise hauler in your area. The 2010 standard collection monthly fee is $25.95.

To find out more about your solid waste service, such as your collection day or designated hauler, call 517-6247. Rates are subject to an annual adjustment in January. HOLIDAY COLLECTION SCHEDULE: On the Holidays listed below there is no collection service. Residential refuse collection days that fall on a holiday will be picked up on the following day, and for the remainder of that week, all refuse collection will be one day behind the regular schedule. For instance, if a holiday falls on Monday, Monday routes will be collected on Tuesday, Tuesday routes on Wednesday, and so on. Friday routes will be collected on Saturday. This allows the workers who serve you all year at the hauling companies, landfills, and recycling facilities, to enjoy these holidays with their families and loved ones. Your cooperation and understanding are appreciated. HOLIDAYS WITH NO COLLECTION SERVICE Landfills and Material Recovery Centers are closed. Your solid waste collection will be One Day Later for the rest of the week after the Holiday.
