EDCO Disposal provides weekly curbside collection of trash, recyclables, and green waste for El Cajon residents. Collection is on a scheduled weekday. Bins must be placed at the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day with lids closed. California SB 1383 requires organic waste diversion.
EDCO Disposal Corporation provides residential curbside collection in El Cajon under the city's franchise agreement. Each residence receives three bins: gray/black for trash, blue for recyclables, and green for organic waste and yard trimmings. Collection occurs on a scheduled weekday that varies by neighborhood. Bins must be at the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day with lids fully closed. Under California SB 1383 (Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction), all residents must separate organic waste (food scraps and green waste) into the green bin. EDCO provides guidelines on what materials go in each bin. Holiday collection schedules are typically delayed by one day when a holiday falls on or before the regular collection day. EDCO customer service is available at 619-287-7555.
Contamination of recycling bins with non-recyclable materials may result in the bin being left uncollected. Failure to comply with SB 1383 organic waste requirements may eventually result in fines once enforcement is fully implemented.
