The City of Hesperia franchises all residential and commercial solid waste collection to Advance Disposal under Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 8.04 (Solid Waste Management). Single-family homes are typically issued two 95-gallon waste wheelers (tan carts) for combined trash, recyclables, and organics — Advance Disposal runs a single-stream comingled system sorted downstream at its Material Recovery Facility. Carts must be at the curb by 6 a.m. on the scheduled service day.
Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 8.04 (Solid Waste Management) makes solid waste collection an exclusive franchise activity within city limits; Advance Disposal, a Hesperia-based family-owned hauler operating since 1965, holds the citywide franchise for both residential and commercial accounts. Per the City's official Trash & Recycling page, every single-family dwelling is issued two 95-gallon waste wheelers (tan body), and 'containers must be curbside by 6 a.m. the day of your trash service, no exceptions.' Hesperia does NOT use the conventional three-cart split (gray/blue/green); instead Advance Disposal runs a comingled single-stream service where trash, recyclables, and organics ride in the same cart and are mechanically and hand-sorted at the Advance Disposal Material Recovery Facility (MRF) before disposal at the San Bernardino County landfill. This MRF qualifies as a High Diversion Organic Waste Processing Facility (HDOWPF) for SB 1383 compliance, which is why Hesperia residents are not required to source-separate organics into a separate cart like most California cities. Bag trash before placing it in the cart, place containers with wheels against the curb, handles toward the home. Holiday delays are published by Advance Disposal (typically a one-day push for major holidays falling on a weekday).
Failure to subscribe to franchise service, leaving extra waste outside the cart, or repeated late setout violates Hesperia Municipal Code Chapter 8.04 and the Title 1 general penalty. First-offense infractions are citable up to $100, $200 for a second within 12 months, and $500 for a third or subsequent (HMC §1.16.010). Overweight carts (above 200 lb) may be refused by Advance Disposal under its franchise rules. Self-hauling household trash to avoid franchise fees is prohibited under HMC Ch. 8.04 except for occasional resident self-haul to the Victorville landfill.
