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

The City of Upland contracts with Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc. as its franchised hauler for both residential and commercial waste. Residential service consists of once-weekly automated refuse (black barrel), recyclables (blue barrel) and green waste (green barrel) collection. Residential trash is billed by the City of Upland, and charges are based on the size of the black barrel(s). Each address has a route-based collection day; the city provides an online residential collection days map to look up the day for a given street. Collection begins early, so barrels should be set out the night before or no later than 6:00 a.m. on collection day. Holiday schedule: services are interrupted on Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day; when the holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the remainder of that week are delayed by one day, and there is no delay when the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday. Burrtec also provides twice-monthly street sweeping (through CMAX Sanitary Services) and seasonal Christmas tree recycling. Contacts: Burrtec residential customer service (909) 931-4150; Upland Public Works (909) 291-2930. Because Upland operates an exclusive franchise, residents cannot choose a different hauler.
