Beginning March 1, 2027, Canyon residents will be able to have individual carts for recycling and organics at home. Residents will be able to place their recycling and organics carts out “curbside” where you place your garbage cart each week for collection by Republic Services. For those who choose not to have their own recycling and organics carts, the shared recycling bins on Redwood Highway near the post office will still be available. For those who choose not to have their own organics carts, Republic Services is going to add a new shared organics bin next to the shared recycling bins.

In addition to the new options for recycling and organics, Canyon residents will also have the option of switching to a smaller landfill (garbage) cart for a lower monthly rate.  Most Canyon residents currently have a 32-gallon landfill cart. Starting March 1, 2027, a 20-gallon landfill cart will cost 12% less than a 32-gallon landfill cart.

Please use this survey to let us know if you would like to receive:

1. An individual recycling cart at your home
2. An individual organics cart at your home
3. A 20-gallon landfill (garbage) cart

Please note that we may not be able to provide individual recycling and organics carts to all residences as some homes may not have sufficient space where they set out their garbage carts.  We will do our best to accommodate all requests for individual recycling and organics carts where feasible and will evaluate each request on a case-by-case basis.

Garbage service is mandatory for the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County (including Canyon).

All customers who sign up for curbside recycling and organics carts, where space permits, will receive curbside service. There is not a minimum number of households needed to participate. For example, if 20 households sign up, those 20 households will receive curbside recycling and organics service. Please complete our questionnaire to let us know if you are requesting curbside services or declining.
