Services

We’re pleased to offer three levels of service, all of which include weekly curbside garbage collection along with every other week recycling service. The levels vary according to the size of garbage cart desired: 32-gallon, 64-gallon, or 96-gallon. All carts are wheeled and easily movable, and curbside set-out is convenient. Regular service includes weekly, curbside collection of material that fits into the carts provided, curbside and drop-off services.

Mandatory Recycling

Rio Vista Sanitation and Mt. Diablo Recycling are happy not just to help make this a greener world but to help businesses comply with the state laws (AB 341 & AB 1826) that require commercial recycling. Businesses generating 4 cubic yards or more of solid waste per week or multifamily residential dwellings of five or more units are now mandated to recycle. 

Businesses that generates more than 8 cubic yards of organics must recycle organic waste (i.e. green waste, landscaping and pruning’s, non-hazardous wood waste, food waste, etc.) by April 2016. By January 1, 2017, businesses that generate four cubic yards of organic waste per week, must arrange for organic waste recycling services. 

Here are some points to consider in managing your recyclables: 

• Place no Hazardous Waste in the container. These wastes include, but are not limited to: oils, solvents, paints, pool chemicals, insecticides, car tires, and refrigerators/freezers with Freon. Please read instructions on all carts before they are disposed of.
• No dirt, concrete, or building material in carts or bins.
• Do not place large and bulky items in the carts.
• Locking devices are provided upon request for an additional charge.
• And don’t forget, recycling carries many benefits, including pride among commercial customers, employees and tenants who take responsibility for recycling more and wasting less.
