Local Tips & Community Info
Waste Management and Hauler Information in Perris
For residents of Perris, California, residential solid waste collection is proudly managed by CR&R Waste Services. CR&R is responsible for all curbside pickups, providing specialized, color-coded carts to help households separate their daily refuse, recyclables, and organic materials. By working alongside the community, CR&R helps Perris remain compliant with statewide environmental regulations while keeping local neighborhoods clean. If you are a new homeowner needing to establish trash services, or if your current bins are damaged and require replacement, you can quickly reach CR&R's customer support team directly at (951) 943-1991 to get your account fully configured.
Guidelines for Curbside Cart Placement
To guarantee that the automated collection trucks can efficiently empty your containers, adhering to strict placement rules is essential. CR&R requires all household carts to be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your designated collection morning. Carts must be placed side-by-side with a minimum of one foot of clearance between each container, and at least three feet away from any large obstructions such as parked vehicles, fire hydrants, or utility poles. Ensure that the handles and wheels are facing backward toward your house. After the trucks have passed, city guidelines stipulate that all empty containers must be removed from the public curb within 12 hours.
Sorting Your Refuse, Recyclables, and Organics
Proper sorting is highly encouraged in Perris. Your standard black (or charcoal-colored) container is meant for regular household refuse and non-recyclable trash. The blue or gray cart is dedicated entirely to recyclables, meaning you should use it for items like dry cardboard, paper products, aluminum cans, and clean glass bottles. Finally, the green cart (or a black cart with a green lid) is exclusively for organic waste, which includes lawn clippings, leaves, food scraps, and plant-based materials. Hazardous waste, construction debris, dirt, and hot ashes are strictly prohibited across all three of these curbside bins.
Disposing of E-Waste and Bulky Household Items
When you have large, cumbersome items that cannot fit into your standard curbside carts, CR&R offers a complimentary bulky item pickup service. Residents can request a special collection for old mattresses, broken furniture, refrigerators, and electronic waste (e-waste) such as old televisions and computer monitors. Because items like refrigerators contain Freon and e-waste contains harmful chemicals, they cannot be dumped in local landfills and require special curbside handling. You can schedule these large pickups by logging into your online CR&R account or by calling customer service. Note that typical household hazardous waste—like paint, motor oil, and batteries—must be taken to a certified Riverside County collection center.
Holiday Interruptions to Your Pickup Routine
Throughout the year, your typical waste collection day may be adjusted due to major national holidays. CR&R Waste Services officially observes six primary holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. If any of these recognized holidays falls on a weekday, all scheduled trash pickups for the remainder of that week will be delayed by exactly one day. For instance, if Independence Day occurs on a Monday, the Monday route will be collected on Tuesday, and a standard Thursday route will be serviced on Friday. Normal schedules typically resume the following week.
