Rialto, CA Trash & Recycling: Pickup Rules & Schedules (2026)

230 sets the baseline: solid waste must be disposed of as often as needed to avoid an unlawful accumulation, but never less frequently than once a week, except that less-than-weekly disposal is allowed during a period when the premises is temporarily unoccupied, such as extended out-of-town travel, and waste is not accumulating there. 200, which requires every person in charge of a premises to make arrangements with a solid waste franchisee for handling services and keep the arrangement in good standing, itself a misdemeanor if ignored.

320 describes how the franchisee actually delivers that weekly service: regular collection is arranged directly between the franchisee and each account holder under the terms of the city franchise, while special, on-call collection of bulky waste and household hazardous waste, along with debris boxes, is separately available on request. 220 keeps cleanup responsibility with the premises occupant for any waste that spills or accumulates, while the franchisee must clean up anything it spills during its own collection, removal or transfer.
