For employee safety, we do not service “bear mats.” Our employees will not cross electrical current equipped mats, whether turned off or on. Additionally, we do not service fixed-lid rolling containers for mixed solid waste collection. Trash must be contained in 32Gal cans with detachable lids.
Residential Waste Containers
Residential trash is collected in customer provided cans or bags, not to exceed 32 Gallons in volume capacity. Cans must be manufactured for manual collection, no Toter or cart style wheeled containers with affixed lids. Cans must have a fully detachable lid and if wheeled, the maximum diameter allowed is 2″ wheels. Please ensure that garbage is properly contained. Proper containment prevents animal intrusion, wind swept litter, ground contamination, not to mention extra expense. Be especially diligent to contain polystyrene packing material (i.e. packing peanuts), all foam packing materials must be bagged and not left loose in boxes. Cat litter must also be bagged and not loose in cans.
Auto-pay Options
Customers may opt in to auto-pay, either by signing up through their online portal available by clicking My Account above or by calling 530-583-7800 to sign up. Balances due are processed on demand via auto-pay on the 15th of the month (or nearest business day).
Winter Access
To ensure service to your bear box please make sure there is a clear path at least 3 feet wide from the street to the front of your bear box. Doors cannot be frozen and the door(s) must open fully to remove the cans or bags. The entire path must have snow removed and be free of ice. Please note our staff will not service bear boxes surrounded by snow or cross berms. Trash room enclosures must have clear driveway access and a path to the room, free of snow or ice.
Garbage collection service is mandatory in Placer County (Franchise Area 3), even if the home is only used one day per quarter. The property owner may discontinue service only if the home will not be used for an entire quarter. You must complete an exemption form in advance to discontinue service, as we do not adjust in arrears. If your home is not on service and is found to have evidence of occupation we are required by Placer County ordinance to automatically start your service and therefore bill for the entire quarter. Residential service is subscribed to quarterly and will not be prorated. Exemptions expire each quarter, the property owner must submit an exemption form for each quarter you wish to discontinue service. Exemption requests must be received by the 15th of the month prior to the start of the new quarter (see chart below):
If you own a business and a primary residence within Franchise area 3, you may qualify for an exemption to your residential service. Click here for more information
