It's That Time Of The Year: Keep A Lid On Trash And Litter

So what harm can it cause to just try and place that last bit of “stuff” in your cart? Well if you are not able to close the lid on your trash cart it can be causing litter in your neighborhood. When your route driver picks up your cart and it has “stuff” teetering on the top many times the material will fall to the ground as we lift your container for dumping. So please do your neighborhood and us a favor and only fill your cart to the top and keep a lid on trash and litter.

For more information or to order a larger or additional trash cart call us at (925) 846-2042.

Trash
Pleasanton residents are provided with either a 35-gallon or 90 gallon automated cart. Service is provided on a weekly basis, Monday through Friday, except for Christmas Day and New Years Day.

Please do not place dirt, rock or toxic materials in your cart. If you have extra trash you need picked up, please call us one business day in advance so we may notify the driver.

Your cart must be out the night before your scheduled pickup. Please place your cart at the curb edge with at least three feet clearance from other objects such as motor vehicles, basketball hoops or trees.

Please take time to learn the Five Rules for placing carts out for collection.

Pleasanton Garbage Service (PGS) operates a commingled residential recycling program with the City of Pleasanton. The program is the easiest way to divert recyclable materials from landfills. Rather than separating recyclable materials into separate containers (like most other communities), our program involves placing trash and recyclables into our 35 or 90-gallon carts. The materials are delivered to the Transfer Station at 3110 Busch Rd., where PGS utilizes a conveyor belt to remove recyclable material from all the residential refuse.

The Blue Bag
The Blue Bag system is a voluntary program. The City of Pleasanton provides the Blue Bags. Place your recyclables in the Blue Bag to keep them free from your trash. The bag is then placed into your 35 or 90 gallon cart.
