Hanford, CA Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

Any and all person(s) in possession or control of all places and premises within the city shall be required to use, and shall pay for solid waste collection and disposal services provided by the city, as found by the director to be necessary to allow for removal of all solid waste normally created, accumulated or produced on the premises during the intervals between regular collections. In the event city is unable to provide the solid waste collection service required by any person, as defined herein, the owner, tenant, or representative of the premises may contract with a hauler permitted to operate within the city.

B. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted as prohibiting an owner or occupant of any premises from the incidental self-hauling of recyclable material, organic waste, gray container waste, or rubble generated on their premises to an appropriate disposal site, hazardous waste collection site, or organics or recycling collection facility located within the county of Kings. The owner or occupant is, however, still required to maintain minimum city-provided solid waste services as defined in Section 13.12.040 below, and pay all associated fees for the service as established by the city.

C. Except for duly licensed solid waste facilities, it is unlawful for any occupant or owner of any building, lot, or premises in the city to allow or permit to collect or remain on such premises any solid waste such that it causes a public nuisance.
