!Contamination Tips
Do not bag your recyclables
Plastic bags jam the gears at the recycling sorting facility. Place your clean cardboard, plastics, and metals loosely into the recycling cart. Any plastic bags and film should go into your black-lidded trash cart.
Keep the lids completely shut
Under Eastvale's strict Cart Monitoring Program, carts with lids that are propped open by excess waste will be flagged. Do not overfill your containers; if you consistently have too much waste, contact WM for an additional cart.
Never put batteries in the bin
Lithium-ion and household batteries are notorious for sparking catastrophic fires inside collection trucks. Keep all batteries out of your curbside carts and take them to a Riverside County HHW collection center.

About Eastvale Waste Management
Navigating SB 1383 Organics Recycling in Eastvale
In compliance with California's SB 1383 mandate, Eastvale strictly prohibits residents from placing food scraps and food-soiled paper into the standard trash cart. Instead, all organic waste—including meat, dairy, vegetables, coffee grounds, and greasy pizza boxes—must be diverted directly into the green organics and yard debris cart. Keeping these materials out of local Riverside County landfills helps drastically reduce harmful methane gas emissions.
Free Used Motor Oil Pickup and HHW Guidelines
While standard household hazardous waste (HHW) such as paint, pesticides, and batteries must be taken to a Riverside County Permanent Collection Center, Eastvale residents have a special perk for used motor oil. Waste Management offers free curbside pickup of residentially generated used motor oil. You simply need to contact WM Customer Care at (800) 423-9986 at least 24 hours in advance of your regular collection day to arrange the safe removal.
Maximizing Your Annual Bulky Item Allowances
Whether you are doing a spring garage cleanout or buying new furniture, residents with active curbside cart service in Eastvale are entitled to three free bulky item pickups per calendar year. This invaluable service accepts oversized household goods such as couches, refrigerators, washers, and dryers. Items like automotive bodies, loose construction debris, and tires are not permitted. You must request the pickup in advance through your My WM portal or by calling customer service.
