Chino Hills, CA Trash & Recycling: Recycling Requirements (2026)

Recycling in Chino Hills is provided by WM (Waste Management) and shaped by California's mandatory commercial recycling law, AB 341. Every single-family home receives a 95-gallon recycling cart with a blue lid as part of the standard three-cart service. For commercial recycling, the City's Mandatory Recycling page explains that under AB 341 'businesses and multi-family properties of five units or more that generate 4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week' must arrange recycling services. Compliance options include subscribing to WM's recycling service, using an alternative third-party recycler with documentation, or self-hauling recyclables to certified centers. The City enforces this through automatic enrollment: 'Failure to set up these services will result in automatic enrollment for recycling and organics recycling services.' The City provides a Sorting Guide and recycling guidelines to help residents and businesses separate materials correctly. Questions and compliance support go to WM's Recycling Compliance Representative at (909) 925-8216 or the City at CHRecycles@chinohills.org. These requirements implement state law (AB 341) through the City of Chino Hills' franchise and are distinct from County programs; where the City differs from the state minimum, it does so mainly through its auto-enrollment enforcement mechanism.
