Residential Curbside
Program Basics
Households with curbside collection are provided with a black container for refuse, a blue container for recyclables, and a green container for organic waste.
Container Color Designations
Limitations
Do not place plastic bags, branches more than six inches in diameter, or palm fronds (leaves from palm trees) in your green container. Palm fronds and large branches may be bundled and called into Ware Disposal as a bulky item. Do not put hazardous materials such as paint or used motor oil in your containers.
Containers should be set out no earlier than 24 hours before your scheduled collection day and should be placed with wheels against the curb at least three fee apart. Empty containers must be removed by midnight of your collection day.

Christmas Tree Recycling
Holiday trees will be collected and recycled for the first two weeks after Christmas on your regular trash pickup day. Please follow these simple instructions:
- Remove all decorations, nails, tree stand, and water bucket.
- If the tree is over six feet, please cut it in half.
- Place your tree on the curb on your normal trash collection day next to your automated containers.
- If you live in a multifamily unit with dumpster collection, place your tree at the curb (or alley, if applicable) on the same trash day as the single-family homes in your immediate neighborhood. If you are unsure of whether your street has alley collection, please visit Ware Disposal or call 626-225-2400.
