Solid Waste & Recycling

The City contracts with Waste Management (WM) for curbside and business trash collection and recycling. To better assist residents and businesses with their waste and recycling services, WM has developed a website specific to San Dimas. The dedicated site provides useful information such as collection schedules, special events, contact information, and sustainability tips. Click here for more information or call (800) 266-7551.
