Redlands Trash Schedule
Residents are required to place all refuse and trash material at the curbside by 6 AM on trash collection day according to the given schedule. Your trash will be collected anytime between 6 AM and 2:30 PM. Do not delay placing your trash cart at the curbside, as it will not get collected if you are late. Similarly, when you notice that your trash cart has been emptied, roll it back as soon as possible, by 7 PM on the same collection day.
There are specific rules that residents must follow when placing their cart at the curbside. For instance, the Solid Waste Department of Redlands requires trash carts to be placed in visible and clear locations so that automatic trash collection trucks can easily collect them. Additionally, leave a clearance of approximately 3 feet on all sides of your trash cart. Do not block sidewalks while placing your cart.
It is also recommended that residents of Redlands pack all regular trash material into plastic bags before putting it into trash carts. This will reduce the chances of spillage. Do not overfill your trash cart; only closed-lid carts should be placed at the curbside. If trash bags are coming out of the cart and the lid is not closed, the cart will not be collected.
