Helpful Tips:

• Please wheel all toters to the curb by 5:00AM on the day of service, every week, as Discovery Bay Disposal Service provides a weekly service for your solid waste and recyclables. Please place the toters 2 to 3 feet apart from each other.
• Please do not place toters under wires or by cars or basketball hoop.
• Bag all ashes, kitty litter, sawdust, and Styrofoam™.
• If you have extra garbage, computers, appliances or televisions, please call us to schedule a special pickup at (925) 634-3099.
• RENTAL PROPERTIES: Contra Costa County ordinance states that it is mandatory to have weekly garbage service and it is the owner’s responsibility for this service. The ordinance also states that if the tenant fails to pay the bill, it is the owner’s obligation to pay the bill. We require new tenants to present a copy of the rental agreement before we start service for the tenant. As long as there are no outstanding bills for the property, we will open the account for the tenant. However, when there is an outstanding balance, we require service to be in the owner’s name.
• Discovery Bay Disposal Service collects garbage every weekday and recycling materials bi-weekly, except Christmas and New Year’s Day. If your service is interrupted on these two holidays, your garbage will be collected on the following day, for that week only.
• Discovery Bay Disposal Service works with the Contra Costa Conservation & Development Department at 651 Pine Street, 4th Floor, North Wing, Martinez, CA 94533 and the phone number there is (925) 335-1290.
