Waste Management is the exclusive franchised hauler for residential and commercial solid waste in Corona under a long-term franchise agreement. Single-family residences receive weekly pickup of trash, recycling, and organics (green/food waste) carts on a designated collection day, with bulky item pickups available twice per year at no additional charge.
Corona Municipal Code Chapter 8.16 establishes Waste Management of Riverside County as the exclusive franchised hauler for solid waste collection in the city. All occupied residential and commercial properties must subscribe to mandatory service. Single-family residences receive three carts: a black/gray cart for trash, a blue cart for recycling, and a green/brown cart for organic waste (yard trimmings and food scraps under SB 1383). Service is once weekly on a designated day based on neighborhood, generally Monday through Friday. Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM the night before collection and must be removed by 7:00 AM the day after. Each residential customer is entitled to two bulky item pickups per year at no extra charge (up to 4 items each, including appliances, furniture, and mattresses). Refrigerators and freezers must have refrigerant evacuated. Hazardous materials (paint, batteries, electronics, motor oil) are not collected curbside; residents can drop off at the Riverside County Household Hazardous Waste facility or scheduled collection events. Holiday schedules may delay pickup by one day for major holidays. Missed pickups can be reported to Waste Management within 24 hours for next-business-day collection.
