Unincorporated Areas of Santa Clarita Get New Trash Service

September 30, 2008

Burrtec to replace existing trash services in unincorporated areas of the Santa Clarita Valley.

Burrtec's New Santa Clarita Service

Trash cans are disappearing around the Santa Clarita Valley this week, and will continue to disappear through the end of October. Why? The unincorporated areas of Santa Clarita will be getting new trash cans, and new service, starting shortly.

Burrtec Industries will take over the trash hauling service for the unincorporated areas of Santa Clarita starting November 3, 2008 in accordance with a new agreement with Los Angeles County. The new Burrtec trash cans will be delivered between September 25 and October 31, and the old trash cans will be picked up during that time frame as well. In order to make sure that your old cans are picked up, be sure to leave all of your trash cans at the curb on your normal trash day.

Between the time that the new cans are delivered and the new service date of November 3, your current trash service will continue your regular service with your new bins. You should receive three new 95-gallon bins, including regular trash (black), yard waste (green) and recyclables (blue). Residents may request optional trash cans for manure as well (brown, of course!), and are also entitled to two free bulky-item pickups per year.

Many areas will have new trash pick-up days with the new service, so be sure to check the Burrtec Trash Service Map for your new service dates. Postcards will also be sent out to confirm the new trash collection days.

This new agreement with Burrtec is supposed to keep our trash collection fees down. We’ll see if this is truth or fiction when the first bills arrive!
