Trash, Recycling & Street Sweeping
The City of Yucaipa has an exclusive franchise agreement with Yucaipa Disposal (Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.) for the collection and handling of solid waste, recycling, and green waste within the City. Pursuant to Yucaipa Municipal Code (YMC), Title 8 of Chapter 8.28, all property within the City is required to subscribe to refuse collection and handling services. The program is designed to collect trash, recyclables, and green waste and to assist the City in meeting mandated AB 939 diversion goals established by the State of California. Pursuant to Yucaipa Municipal Code, Chapter 8.28, solid waste collection and recycling service is mandatory in the City of Yucaipa.
Residents receive one time per week collection of trash, recyclables and green waste. Residential service is mandatory and based on single-family home waste generation. Low volume trash generators can benefit from a smaller 15 gallon trash barrel and a reduced solid waste and recycling bill. Trash, recycling, and green waste barrels are available for an additional fee.
Please place barrels at curbside the night before or no later than 6:00 a.m. on the day of collection. Place your barrels near the corner of your driveway, in the street, at curbside with the handles facing your home. The barrels must be placed at least three feet away from any obstruction such as a vehicle, fence, lamp post, power pole or mail box and one foot between other barrels. Trash not at curbside at time of collection will be collected the following week. As a courtesy to your neighbor, promptly remove carts after service.

Remember to move vehicles parked at the curb on your street sweeping day.

Each year, junk mail destroys 80 million trees and wastes 28 billion gallons of water. That amount of junk mail averages out to 34 pounds a year for each woman, man and child in the US. We spend an average of 8 months of our lives dealing with junk mail. Had enough? Put a stop to junk mail by following the six steps to get off mailing lists to STOP junk mail. Here are some highlights:
- Whenever you request to be added or deleted from a mailing list, add these words “Please remove my name and address from your mailing lists and do not rent, sell or trade my name or address.”
- Use Form 1500 (PDF) from the US Postal Service to stop unwanted mail. According to ecocycle, “this form was originally intended to block unwanted pornographic mail, but in 1970 the Supreme Court extended its purpose. The form can now be used to stop any unwanted mail.”
- Call 1-888-567-8688 (1-888-5OPT-OUT) to end credit card solicitations or visit http://www.optoutprescreen.com. You will have the opportunity to choose either a five-year removal or a permanent removal. For your personal credit cards, ask the company to place you on their “in house” list that is not sold or traded to other companies.
- Sign Up for the “Stop Junk Mail for GOOD Program”!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PROGRAM IS TEMPORARILY CANCELED

The City of Yucaipa implemented tax roll billing for the collection of waste disposal fees with the adoption of Ordinance No. 373. Tax roll billing will:
- Address delinquent service fee collections and reduce staff time required to prepare and process liens. Over the past five years, the following number of delinquent accounts were placed on the solid waste lien list that was submitted to the County of San Bernardino for addition to the property tax rolls as a special assessment: 2018 – 978, 2017 – 675, 2016 – 648, 2015 – 775, 2014 – 926
- Reduce paper waste, which will assist the City in meeting the State Mandated Diversion requirements.
- Reduce the carbon footprint with electronic delivery of invoices and newsletters
The City will receive payments from the San Bernardino County Auditor/Controller/Treasurer/Tax Collector office, which will be forwarded to Yucaipa Disposal. Yucaipa Disposal would then credit these funds to the proper residential customer accounts and remit to the City the Franchise Fees and Household Hazardous Waste Fees.
