Residential Trash and Recycling Services in the City of El Monte

Three CartsCarts should to be placed out at the curbside on collection day. Customers deposit their trash in the brown cart, recyclables in the blue cart and green waste in the green cart. Trash carts are picked up TWICE EVERY WEEK, recycling & green waste carts ONCE EVERY WEEK.

On collection day the carts are placed at the curbside with the cart handles toward the home, wheels against the curbside, lids tightly closed and at least three feet away from any obstruction such as a fence, car or mailbox. Allow two feet between each cart lined up side by side. The carts must be at the curbside before 6 a.m. on your collection day.

Each cart is serviced separately, at different times of the day. Please be sure that your carts have been emptied before removing them from the curb.

If your cart is damaged or if you need additional carts, contact Phoenix Waste & Recycling Services at 888-699-7776. All carts have a lifetime guarantee. In most cases, damaged carts will be repaired or replaced at no charge. The new program will help to reduce, reuse and recycle.
