Republic Services is Daly City's exclusive franchise hauler under Municipal Code Title 8 (Health and Safety), Chapter 8.12 (Garbage). All residential and commercial accounts must subscribe to garbage, recycling, and organics service; rates vary by cart number and size. Customer service: (650) 756-1130.
Daly City contracts Republic Services as the sole franchised waste hauler for the city and adjacent Broadmoor. Subscription is mandatory under Municipal Code Chapter 8.12 (Garbage) and Chapter 8.14 (Recyclable Materials), and — for organics — Chapter 8.80 (Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction, added by Ordinance No. 1452 on November 22, 2021 to comply with state SB 1383). Single-family residences receive a three-cart system (dark grey trash, blue single-stream recycling, green organics/yard waste) collected weekly on a route-dependent day. Residents can look up their collection schedule using Republic Services' 'See My Service Schedule' tool by entering the service address, or call (650) 756-1130 (Mon–Fri 7am–6pm, Sat 8am–noon). Missed pickups, extra service for the current week, and complimentary annual bulky goods collection are arranged through Republic Services, not the City. Rates depend on the number and size of trash carts subscribed (32-, 64-, or 96-gallon). The City of Daly City Public Works Department oversees the franchise; the City FAQ (QID=215) explicitly directs all service questions to Republic Services rather than City Hall.
Failure to subscribe to garbage service is a Chapter 8.12 violation enforceable via the city's administrative citation schedule. Self-haul or unfranchised hauling within Daly City is prohibited under the exclusive franchise. Mandatory organics subscription violations (Chapter 8.80) are enforced beginning with notices of violation and progressing to administrative fines consistent with the CalRecycle SB 1383 enforcement framework.
