How to Recycle Yard Trimmings & Food Scraps
Excess Yard Trimmings You may recycle yard trimmings on one of your three Special Clean Up Days each year, at a quarterly Recycling Drop-Off Event, or at a local Recycling Center. For one-time large jobs, you may order a yard trimmings recycling dumpster from a permitted commercial recycler. If you regularly have more yard trimmings than will fit in your yard trimmings cart, contact Waste Management at (925) 837-3356 or WMAC@WM.com to request a second yard trimmings cart free of charge. Home Composting and Grasscycling Why throw out the valuable soil nutrients contained in your grass clippings, leaves, and other yard trimmings by placing them into your yard trimmings cart? Put them back to use in your yard or garden by practicing Home Composting or Grasscycling. Through home composting, you can also recycle your food scraps as well as your yard trimmings into a rich soil amendment. Free Compost Waste Management provides free compost made with residential yard trimmings to San Ramon residents. Free compost is available in bags at Recycling Drop-Off Events. Curbside Collection Single family-homes and those condominiums and townhomes with individual cart service receive weekly curbside collection of garbage, recyclables, yard trimmings and used motor oil. All materials are collected on the same day of the week. Collection hours are 5:30 a.m. through 7:00 p.m. Residents should place all materials at the curb before 5:30 a.m. on their regular service day. The carts should be placed squarely facing the street without blocking the sidewalk, and allow 2-3 feet of clearance on all sides so that the automated truck arms can pick them up. Used motor oil jugs and bagged oil filters may be placed at the curb next to the carts. Cardboard boxes which do not fit in your recycling cart may be flattened and set out next to your recycling cart. Residents with disabilities may request side yard recyclables collection service at no additional charge. Waste Management Holiday Schedule Garbage and recycling collection in San Ramon through Waste Management does not occur on the following holidays:
If your service falls on or after these holidays, your pickup will occur one day later through Saturday of that week. If you you have any questions or comments please contact David Krueger, Solid Waste and Recycling Program Manager at (925) 973-2824 or Dkrueger@sanramon.ca.gov.
