Since its incorporation in 1960, the unprecedented growth of San Dimas has transformed the City from an essentially rural area to a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living. In addition to the 1,700 acre Frank G. Bonelli Recreational Area which lies within the City boundaries, there are many parks such as San Dimas Canyon Park, a city-owned golf course (San Dimas Canyon Golf Club), and over 27 miles of equestrian trails for riding. The city services include an extensive recreational program for youth and for senior citizens, and the City boasts a new modern City Hall, with excellent provisions made for County Sheriff and Fire Departments, along with a fine Los Angeles County Library and Engineering Regional Office.
Recycling
The City of San Dimas contracts with Waste Management for solid waste services, which includes recycling. A few helpful recycling tips:
- Recycle bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard.
- Keep food and liquid out of recycle containers.
- Do not bag recyclable items. Place items directly into the recycle container.
To learn more about recycling and access an array of services visit Waste Management's recycling website at: https://www.wm.com/us/en/recycle-right/recycling-101 . If you have individual cart service, all recycling carts are the same size. If you live in a multi-family complex, you may have a recycling dumpster that can vary in size from 1.5 yard-6 yards.
The City developed the Recycling Guide for local places that will accept materials. It is recommended to call and confirm with the business before taking your items. If you have questions feel free to contact Public Works staff at (909) 394-6240 or at publicworks@sandimasca.gov .
