Recycling FAQ’s
Eligibility: All CSD refuse customers are eligible to receive curbside recycling services. Recycling is now mandatory in the Big Bear City CSD area, and recyclable materials cannot be placed in your trash cart.

Placement: Recycling is collected the same day as trash and should be place out for collection only when full. To ensure collection, all District provided carts must be placed street side by 6:00 a.m. on collection day. Carts are to be placed at least three (3) feet from any obstruction such as other carts, mailboxes, vehicles, fences, etc. with the handles facing the house.

Material collection: Recycling should be placed loose in the cart. No plastic bags. Cardboard boxes should be broken down and placed inside the cart.

Please watch the videos below for important recycle cart information and tips.
