Automated Rubbish Collection

  • EDCO provides each single-family residential customer with a GRAY automated cart for weekly rubbish collection.
  • Please set out waste containers in your designated collection area at the curb by 7 a.m.
  • Automated carts should be placed at least 2 feet away from each other and obstructions such as parked cars, trees, telephone poles and mailboxes.
  • Please be careful not to place carts in areas of traffic, such as bike lanes, in order to avoid blocking paths of travel.
  • Please remove all empty carts from the curb no later than 8 pm on the day of collection. Empty carts cannot be left at the curb overnight.
Trash, recycling and green waste carts

Collection Day Set-Out

Place automated carts in your designated collection area (in front of the residence) on the street with the wheels against the curb or on the edge of the roadway. Arrows on the lid should point toward the street. Avoid placing carts next to obstructions, such as parked cars, utility poles, etc. Please be careful not to place carts in areas of traffic, such as bike lanes, in order to avoid blocking paths of travel.

When setting out waste and recycling carts for collection, always leave enough space so your postal carrier can access your mail box.

Time of Cart Placement and Cart Storage

Trash, recycling and green waste carts cannot be placed at the curb for collection earlier than 8 a.m. on the day before collection, and must be removed from the curb no later than 8 p.m. on the day of collection. Additionally carts must be stored so they are substantially screened from view from the street, except when placed at the curb for collection. Please keep our community beautiful!

Rainy Day Notice:  If you live on a steep street and experience extreme rain conditions, please set your carts 1-2 feet away from the curb/gutter. This will allow the rainwater to pass freely and unobstructed behind your carts and also prevent carts from being washed away.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding placement of your waste or recycling container, or lack of curb space, please call (310) 540-2977 and a customer service representative will be happy to assist you.

Pup Service

For hard to reach areas, a specialized pup truck will service your disposal needs. Please fill out our Information Request Form or call EDCO.

Temporary-Use Dumpsters & Roll-Off Containers

Are you planning a home improvement or yard clean-up project? Get a bin to throw it in! Call EDCO to order a temporary-use dumpster for on-site debris collection. A 3 cubic yard dumpster will hold approximately the same amount of debris as 20 standard trash cans.

For bigger projects, ask about our roll-off containers. Different size containers will be provided depending on the weight of material to be disposed of. We also offer security vans for on-site storage of valuable tools and building supplies.
