Residential customers receive a blue recycling cart serviced weekly. Under California AB 341, businesses generating ≥4 cubic yards/week of solid waste and multifamily complexes of 5+ units must subscribe to recycling service. Free waste audits are available from the City.
Rialto residents place mixed recyclables (paper, cardboard, plastic bottles/containers, metal cans, glass) in the blue cart. Rocks, concrete, dirt, and household hazardous waste are not accepted in any curbside container. California AB 341 (PRC §42649 et seq.), effective July 1, 2012, requires commercial recycling for businesses and multifamily complexes with 5+ units generating 4+ cubic yards/week of solid waste. AB 1826 extends mandatory organics recycling to qualifying commercial generators. SB 270 (statewide single-use plastic-bag ban) applies in Rialto. The City offers free waste audits to businesses through the Recycling Hotline at 909-820-2602 to identify diversion opportunities. Scavenging of recyclables from the blue cart is prohibited under RMC §8.08.030.
Commercial accounts that fail to subscribe to recycling under AB 341 face enforcement by CalRecycle and the City. Heavily contaminated residential carts may be tagged, skipped, and re-billed as trash service.
