Service Changes For Curbside Collection In Cupertino During Shelter-In-Place Order

If you have an extra bag of garbage you need to have picked up, contact Recology within 24 hours.

April 8, 2020

Recology is no longer picking up extra bags of garbage left outside of the cart in order to minimize employees’ contact with material for their health and safety. If you have an extra bag of garbage you need to have picked up, contact Recology within 24 hours of your service day. Then place the extra bag in your garbage cart and place the cart out at the curb.

"Social distance” carts at 18 to 21 inches apart that they can be grabbed by the robot arm on the collection truck.

Residents will need to store batteries, fluorescent bulbs, cooking oil, and motor oil until regular services resume. Do not place these items in any cart.

Contact Recology at (408) 725-4020 or (408) 971-5100, or email recologysouthbay@recology.com if you require an extra pickup of garbage, a cart exchange due to a safety issue, or if your cart or bin is missing and you require a new one.
