AUTOMATED GREEN WASTE COLLECTION
The City of Redlands uses the automated collection system to collect green
waste from over 16,000+ single family residences one time per week. Following
these basic guidelines will ensure efficient collection of your green waste:

Separate placement and collection of your organic green waste materials
is required in the City of Redlands.

A separate container, marked YARD WASTE ONLY, is provided to each
single family residence. Additional containers are available, please
contact our customer service group at 909-798-7529 for more information

Green Waste is defined by Redlands Municipal Code as: Tree and
shrubbery trimmings, tree roots less than six inches (6") in diameter,
vegetation matter resulting from land clearing, grass, weeds, straw, or
leaves, wood chips, sawdust and other household garden organic
materials which have been segregated from other solid waste materials for
the purpose of deposit at a designated collection location, including
curbside location, for collection and transportation to a compost facility.
Green waste does not include palm fronds, cactus or tree limbs, roots or
stumps larger than six inches (6") in diameter.

All containers should be placed in their designated collection location no
later than 6:00 A.M. of your regular collection day to avoid being missed.
Collection can occur at any time between 6:00 A.M. and 2:30 P.M. or later,
and can change from week to week. Three different trucks will pass your
residence to collect three different types of waste throughout the day. An
additional service charge may be assessed for any container placed for
collection after six o'clock (6:00) A.M., upon which the customer reports to
the solid waste division as being missed for collection and is subsequently
collected after the route has already been completed.

Containers shall be placed in the street at the curb, or such place as if a
curb did exist, or on the parkway, as close to the curb as possible. No
container shall be placed on any sidewalk. Containers shall not be placed
within three feet (3') from any obstacle, such as a parked vehicle, fence,
lamp post, mailbox and at least one foot (1') from any other container.
Containers must be placed with the handle facing the property.

Certain exceptions to this program exist if you meet the qualifications. Call
us for more details.

Contaminated green waste containers cannot be collected by your driver.
If contamination is found prior to collection, your container will be tagged
with a green tag by the driver and left. Once you have removed the
contaminates, you can request a special pickup at a charge of $25.07, or
place your container out the following week for regular collection.

PLEASE NOTE: Plastic lawn bags are a contaminate and should never
be placed in your green waste container.

As with all containers, green waste may never exceed the upper perimeter
of the container.

It is the responsibility of the customer to remove all containers from the
designated collection location as soon as possible after the containers
have been collected, and in any event no later than ten o'clock (10:00)
P.M. on the designated collection day. It is unlawful for any person to fail
or refuse to perform such duty.

after the seventh (7) day will result in an additional charge of $37.61 per

Delivery and pickup of the container can occur anytime between 6:00 am
and 2:30 pm. If a container is not ready when the driver arrives for pickup,
a trip charge of $62.65 will be assessed for a return trip. If you cancel
your request after a container has been delivered, a trip charge of $125.31
will be assessed.
3.
Any change in delivery or pickup scheduling of a container should be
made prior to 5:00 pm of the working business day (please refer to

scheduling conflicts.
4.
The customer shall be responsible for any and all damages to a container
during the service period.

DO NOT play in or around the container. DO NOT use the container for
storage of items not intended for disposal. The customer shall be
responsible for anything placed in the container, whether by themselves or
by another party, once the container has been placed at the requested
service location.
6.
Containers must be placed on a hard, level surface. The container may be
placed on an asphalt or concrete driveway, if requested. However, the City
DOES NOT accept any liability for any damage to the driveway, which
may be caused by the placement or removal of the container from the
requested service location. All containers requested to be placed in an
alley require approval from Solid Waste Division personnel. The City
reserves the right to make final determination as to the placement of all
roll-off containers.
7.
NOTHING placed in the container for disposal may exceed the top
perimeter of the container. Overloaded containers will not be picked up.
The container must be off-loaded by the customer. Additional charges
may apply.

weight limit of materials placed in the container for disposal is 10 tons. Any
container that is deemed too heavy to pickup must be off-loaded by the
customer.

To optimize container capacity, loading should be done uniformly, placing
bulky items strategically within the container.

It is illegal to dispose of hazardous waste, including universal waste
(computers, televisions, VCR’s or other types of electronics) in a municipal
or county landfill. DO NOT place any type of hazardous waste in the
container. Hazardous waste includes, but is not limited to: paint, batteries,

these types of items at a charge to the customer by the City. Referral
