Mid Valley Disposal provides residential trash, recycling and organics collection across unincorporated Kings County. Containers must be curbside by 6:00 a.m.; routes run 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Six holidays push that week's collection one day later. Disposal is handled through the Kings Waste & Recycling Authority.
Residential solid-waste collection in unincorporated Kings County is provided by Mid Valley Disposal under a County franchise. Per Mid Valley Disposal's published rules, residential collection runs from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and all containers must be placed curbside by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day. Each household uses a three-cart system: trash, recycling, and organics. The service observes six holidays, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and when a holiday falls on a weekday, collection for the rest of that week slides one day later. Materials collected in the county are processed and disposed of through the Kings Waste & Recycling Authority (KWRA), a joint-powers authority formed in 1989 comprising the cities of Hanford, Lemoore and Corcoran together with the unincorporated portion of Kings County, which operates the County's landfill and processing facility on Hanford-Armona Road. The County Code requires a license to engage in solid-waste collection or disposal (County Code Ch. 13, Sec. 13-2, Solid Waste Collection and Disposal), which underpins the exclusive franchise arrangement. For account setup, missed pickups, cart sizing or special collections, residents contact Mid Valley Disposal directly; specific community offices (for example, the Home Garden office) handle local service questions.
Containers set out after 6:00 a.m. may be missed until the next scheduled day. Operating an unlicensed solid-waste collection or disposal operation conflicts with the County Code's licensing requirement (Ch. 13, Sec. 13-2) and the exclusive franchise. Persistent service or container problems that create a nuisance can be referred to County Code Compliance.
