Integrated Waste
Residential Service

Residential Service consists of one time per week automated refuse (black barrel), recyclables (blue barrel) and green waste (green barrel) collection in the City of Upland by Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.

Barrels should be set out the night before or no later than 6:00 a.m. on collection day, either in street with wheels against curb, or if alley service, in alley away from any structures.  Return barrels out of sight by the night that they are emptied.

Refuse rates are based on the size of the refuse container only.   Residents may choose from the following sizes, and if necessary, may request additional refuse barrels at the following rates:

The City of Upland is dedicated to maintaining its goal of 50% diversion of its wastes through its recycling program.  About half of the waste that is generated in the home is recyclable:  paper/cardboard products and plastic, metal and glass food and beverage containers.  Place these commingled recyclables in the blue barrel.  Recycling also minimizes the need for additional refuse barrels.  Should you require additional recycling capacity, extra recycling barrels are available at no additional charge.  Please see the "Recycling" link for a list of recyclable materials.

Since green waste constitutes about a fifth of the waste stream, utilization of the green waste disposal system is also key to reaching that goal.  Should you require additional green waste recycling capacity, extra green waste barrels are available at no additional charge. 

Also, if you have a home demolition or yard clearing project, you may order a temporary bin, a demo box or roll-off service.  Keep contents uncontaminated for recycling.

Your residential refuse service gives you many free services, such as:

  • Bulky-Item Pickup Service - residents with barrel service may schedule this free service four times in a 12-month period
  • Missing or damaged barrel replacement, free of charge
  • Holiday tree curbside pick-up service, available the first two weeks of the New Year

  • Free mulch giveaway (last Saturdays of HHW)
  • 24-hour Refuse and Recycling Recording – 931-4343
