Curbside Recycling Program
Rosemead's curbside recycling program is one easy way for residents to recycle. Follow these guidelines when recycling:
Use the blue bin to recycle:
- All metal cans - including soft drink, soup, vegetable and pet food cans.
- All clear glass containers, bottles and jars (no lids please!).
- Most household containers - including plastic bottles, dish soap, shampoo and milk bottles
If your recyclables won't all fit in your blue bin, call Consolidated Disposal Services (1-888-339-3723 or 1-626-288-7466) and they will deliver a second blue bin at no cost.
For additional ways to recycle, log onto www.earths911.org.
Use your green waste containers for:
- Grass, leaves, and plant trimmings that you are unable to divert through composting or grass recycling (tips on smart gardening are available from LA County Department of Public Works by calling 1-626-458-3524 or visit their website).
Use the waste container for automated collection for:
- General household waste disposal items.
Also, don't forget that waste containers must be removed from curbsides no later than 8:00 pm on day of collection. Refuse containers should not be placed curbside before 6:00 pm on the day preceding collection. Compliance with these simple regulations will not only improve the neighborhood's appearance, but will ensure that containers won't interfere with the street sweeper.
