Important items to remember when using the new weekly service:

  • Set your carts at the curbside either the night before your collection day or by 4:00 a.m. the day of your collection.
  • In accordance with Daly City Municipal Code 8.14.080 B; Receptacles for residential units shall be placed at curbside for collection by the authorized recycling agent; but shall not be placed at curbside earlier than twelve hours prior to the date and time for scheduled collection, nor left remaining at curbside longer than twelve hours following the date and time for scheduled collection.
  • Your collection day MAY be scheduled on the same day as street sweeping service. Signs are posted on your street noting sweeping day and the hours in which the curbside must be kept clear.

Below are examples of how to properly place your carts out for collection.

Option #1 (view illustration below)
Option 1 should be used if your curbside is clear of parked cars and allows enough room for the truck to safely empty your carts.

Option #2 (view illustration below)
Option 2 is for those customers who do not have access to curbside collection (if cars or other obstructions are in the way). These customers should place their carts on the street at the entrance of their driveway.

Set out options if street sweeping is the same day as your collection day
(view illustration below)
Customers whose waste and recycling collection occurs on the same day as street sweeping service should place their carts on the sidewalk or lawn as shown below. Please make note of the posted days and times when street sweeping service takes place in your neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I choose a trash cart size?
Most households should choose a 32-gallon trash cart. Large households (5+ persons) should choose either a 65 or 96-gallon trash cart

Q. Is there an extra charge for the recycling cart?
No, recycling services are included as part of the basic solid waste service.

Q. Why is the recycling program being changed?
We are changing the program to achieve higher participation and meet the California mandate of a 50% diversion level. Mixed recycling will also extend the useful life of Ox Mountain Landfill, a valuable resource.

Q. What about my old trash can?
Because of the new automated service, Allied Waste Services will no longer have the capability to service your old trash can but, by calling Customer Service, you can schedule a removal. Please note, separate plastic trash bags can no longer be used with the automated service.
