Residential Garbage Program

• All garbage and recycling containers must be left at the curb by 6:00am on your service day.
• We are not responsible for any articles left on or near collection containers.
• Please report any missed collections to our office by the following business day.
• Please put your garbage in bags before placing in your container, to help prevent loose trash from falling out on windy days or when the container is emptied.
• Extra Garbage must be bagged and arrangements made with our office in advance for pickup.
• For your convenience, Extra Bag Tags are also available and allow you to put out extra garbage on your regular service day without having to call ahead. To purchase Extra Bag Tags contact Recology of the Coast at (650) 355-9000..

There are four different cart sizes available with Recology of the Coast. The size of your garbage cart determines your monthly rate. The more you utilize your recycling and organics carts, the smaller your garbage cart will need to be.

Available Sizes:

20-gallon	32-gallon	48-gallon	64-gallon

Reminder: The more you can recycle, the less garbage service you will need!

If you use a 20 gallon garbage cart and satisfy the requirements for the PG&E CARE Program, you may qualify for the Life Line Low Income discount. Please refer to the chart below.

Number of Persons in Household	Annual Income

If you meet the requirements above, please bring in or mail a copy of your PG&E bill to our office. If you have questions please contact Customer Service at (650) 355-9000.

Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, those residents defined as disabled, and whose disability prevents their placing containers at the curbside, shall have the option of placing their containers near their dwelling, visible from curbside. Recology of the Coast will pick up the refuse from this location, or any other location suitable to both parties, and return your container to the same location.

To help keep usable items out the landfill, which helps preserve our environment, please consider joining the Coastside region of San Mateo County's Freecycle Group.

This online group gives residents and businesses another resource for reuse within our community. All items posted on the website must be FREE. So if you have something to give or perhaps there is something you need, Freecycle may be just the answer.
