Change from private to County-provided trash collection service
Return to Recycling and Trash Service for single-family homes
The basic steps required to request a change from privately-contracted trash collection service to County-provided service (or vice versa) are
- You submit a petition for the change, signed by 25 percent of the homeowners in your proposed collection area.
- Recycling and Resource Management Division staff will review the petition.
- If the petition is accepted, all homeowners within the proposed boundaries will be notified by mail, and will be asked to vote whether or not they want the County-provided service.
- A public hearing will be held on the proposed change.
- The votes will be tallied after the hearing.
- A decision will be made and homeowners will be notified about the outcome.
