Recology Auburn Placer is the exclusive franchise hauler for residential garbage, recycling and green waste in Rocklin under Rocklin Municipal Code Chapter 13.08 (Solid Waste and Refuse Collection). Customers receive two carts — one gray for trash/recyclables (sorted at the MRF under SB 1383) and one green for yard/organic waste. Carts must be at curbside by 5:00 a.m. on your collection day, and Recology operates as usual on every holiday except Christmas Day and New Year's Day (service is delayed one day for the rest of that week).
Subscription to franchised service is the default compliance method under RMC Chapter 13.08; self-haul is allowed only for specifically authorized loads (e.g., construction refuse under RMC §13.08.55, where the generator may either subscribe or personally dispose). Recology Auburn Placer is reachable at (530) 885-3735 and also serves Auburn, Colfax, Loomis and unincorporated Placer County. The City of Rocklin Public Works FAQ confirms Recology as the cart and service provider. Holiday schedule (Christmas Day, New Year's Day) is published by Recology Auburn Placer; if your service day falls on or after one of those holidays, every remaining pickup that week is pushed one day later.
Failing to subscribe to refuse service, leaving accumulated trash visible from the public right-of-way, or improperly storing refuse violates RMC §8.04.020(A) and (D) (Junk, Trash and Debris). Code Enforcement (916) 625-5498 issues notices of violation; uncorrected violations can be cited as municipal infractions under RMC Title 1.
