Trash, recycling, and organics collection in Perris is provided by the City's franchised hauler, CR&R, Inc. Residents receive three automated color-coded carts — black for trash, gray for recycling, green for organics/green waste — serviced once a week. Only the hauler's carts are picked up.
The City of Perris contracts residential and commercial solid-waste, recycling, and organics service to a single franchised hauler, CR&R, Inc., whose local facility is at 1706 Goetz Road in Perris. Collection is regulated under Perris Municipal Code Title 7 (Chapter 7.16, Rubbish Collection and Disposal), and the City's Public Works department oversees the program. Residents are provided a set of three specially designed automated carts with attached lids and wheels: trash goes in the black container, recycling in the gray container, and green waste/organics in the green container. The City states that only the containers provided will be picked up, so private cans are not serviced. Each cart is collected once a week on the resident's scheduled day; CR&R lets residents look up their collection day by address. Carts must be at the curb early — collection can start around 6:00 a.m. When a holiday falls during the week, service is postponed by one day for the remainder of that week (for example, a Thursday route runs Friday). Organic material collected from the green cart is taken to CR&R's anaerobic digester (AD) facility in Perris, which converts food and yard waste into renewable natural gas and compost. For account, cart, or schedule questions, residents contact CR&R at (951) 943-1991; the City's Waste & Recycling team can be reached at (951) 657-3280.
Setting out unaccepted private containers, or trash/recycling/organics in the wrong color cart, can result in non-collection. Improperly stored or untimely carts are also enforced as code violations under Ch. 7.16 by City Code Enforcement. Service issues are handled by CR&R at (951) 943-1991.
