All carts are wheeled and easily movable, and curbside set-out is convenient.Regular service includes weekly, curbside collection of material that fits into the carts provided, curbside and drop-off services.

If you have branches, please tie them in a bundle and make sure they are no larger than 18 inches by 3 feet. We will NOT pick up furniture, carpet, appliances or e-waste. On-call pick-ups must be at least one week apart.

Mandatory Recycling

Brentwood Disposal and Mt. Diablo Recycling are happy not just to help make this a greener world but to help businesses comply with the state laws (AB 341 & AB 1826) that require commercial recycling. 

Under AB 341: Recycling paper, plastic, Cardboard, glass, aluminum and tin
Businesses generating 4 cubic yards or more of solid waste per week or multifamily residential dwellings of five or more units are now mandated to recycle.

Under AB 1826: Recycling Organics (Food and Yard Waste)

Businesses that generates more than 8 cubic yards of organics must recycle organic waste (i.e. green waste, landscaping and pruning’s, non-hazardous wood waste, food waste, etc.) by April 2016. By January 1, 2017, businesses that generate four cubic yards of organic waste per week, must arrange for organic waste recycling services.

Here are some points to consider in managing your recyclables: 

• Place no Hazardous Waste in the container. These wastes include, but are not limited to: oils, solvents, paints, pool chemicals, insecticides, car tires, and refrigerators/freezers with Freon. Please read instructions on all carts before they are disposed of.
• No dirt, concrete, or building material in carts or bins.
• Do not place large and bulky items in the carts.

• And don’t forget, recycling carries many benefits, including pride among commercial customers, employees and tenants who take responsibility for recycling more and wasting less.
