Bellflower, CA Trash & Recycling: Pickup Rules & Schedules (2026)

Trash, recycling and organics collection in the City of Bellflower is provided by the city's franchised hauler, CR&R Inc. (CR&R Environmental Services) of Stanton, under an exclusive franchise. CR&R serves single-family, multi-family and commercial customers and also offers temporary services such as clean-up bins and roll-offs (3-yard, 10-yard and 40-yard). Single-family residents receive a three-container system: a blue cart for recyclables, a green cart for organics/yard waste, and a black cart for general waste. Collection is weekly by service area. Bellflower's published holiday rule is that collection days will be one day late following each holiday when the holiday falls on a weekday (Monday–Friday); residents are directed to CR&R's holiday schedule for specific dates. CR&R also offers a low-income discount for customers who qualify for an exemption from any of the city's utility user taxes, and a senior discount for customers 65 years of age or older. Billing and service questions go to CR&R at (877) 944-4716; city Public Works can be reached at (562) 804-1424. Because Bellflower is incorporated, residents must use the city's exclusive hauler rather than arranging private collection or relying on Los Angeles County service.
