Yard Waste Recycling Guidelines
Residents can recycle lawn clippings and other yard waste with their 96-gallon yard waste cart. If you are a new resident and do not have a yard waste cart, please call a customer service representative at (925) 685-4711 or request one online.
What do Do:
- Place yard waste - grass clippings, brush, weeds, leaves, etc. - directly into the cart.
- Do not bag or place yard waste in any container before placing in cart.
- Place the cart on the street in front of the curb for streetside pickup.
- Face the cart's front out to the street.
- Place cart out by 5:00 a.m. Leave at least 4 feet between carts and any other object.
Reminders
