Green Waste FAQs

 

 

 

Q: How do I sign up for Green Waste Collection?

 

A: Green Waste Containers are free and are provided with your refuse container. They are available to anyone who has trash container service. For the customer who requests more than one green waste container, there will be a nominal charge that is substantially less than an additional trash container.

 

 

Q: How do I have extra Green Waste collected?

 

A: You may request to have a permanent additional Green Waste Container delivered. There is a nominal charge for an additional container.

 

Or you may request a Bulky Item Pick-up for bundled branches. Bulky item collection is available all year long. Residents my request two bulky item collections per year free of charge.

 

Please be sure to bundle the branches/brush less than 18 inches in diameter and four feet in length. No stumps are accepted.

 

To schedule a bulky item collection, please call (909) 395-2050.

 

 

Q: How do I recycle my Christmas tree?

 

A: During the first two weeks in January, the City provides Christmas tree recycling collection to our customers. Trees should be free of decorations, nails, and stands. The trees should be placed next to your containers and at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your regular collection day.

 

Flocked trees are collected but cannot be recycled. Therefore, these types of trees may be collected on an alternate schedule.
