Republic Services provides exclusive waste collection for Compton. Each home receives three carts: 95-gal brown (trash), 64-gal grey (recycle), 64-gal green (green waste). Collection is delayed one day for major holidays (New Year's, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas).
Compton contracts with waste haulers or operates municipal trash collection on a weekly schedule. Residents receive assigned pickup days. Bins must be placed curbside by the designated morning time, typically 6 to 7 AM. Holiday delays shift pickup one day. Contaminated recycling bins may be skipped. Oversized or overweight bins will not be collected. Contact Compton public works for schedule changes or missed pickup reports.
Failure to follow schedule may result in missed pickup. Repeated violations of bin rules may incur $50 to $200 fines from code enforcement.
