SOLID WASTE SERVICE

Weekly curbside waste collection is provided by Recology Vacaville Solano to customers that reside within the city limits of Vacaville and in the Solano County area surrounding Vacaville.

Residential customers are provided with three collection carts: one gray garbage cart, one blue recycling cart, and one green organics cart available in either 32- and 96-gallon sizes. For information about your recycling and organics carts, visit our Recycling and Organics pages or view our Residential Waste Service and Recycling Guide.

All carts are serviced weekly on your designed service day. To view your collection calendar visit www.recology.com/recology-vacaville-solano/collection-calendar/.

Place all carts at the curb on your collection day by 6:00 AM with the handles toward the curb, the lid completely closed and at least 3 feet of space between each cart as well as other objects such as vehicles, lamp posts, and trees. Please do not block the sidewalk. Additionally, please be mindful of weight limits, as the trucks cannot lift more than 200 pounds. If your cart exceeds the limit, it will not be collected.
