Local Tips & Community Info
Victorville Residential Trash Pickup Schedule & Bin Guidelines
The City of Victorville partners with Burrtec Waste Industries to provide comprehensive residential trash collection services. To ensure your household waste is picked up without a hitch, residents must place their black trash carts at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on their designated service day. It is essential to leave at least a three-foot clearance between the carts and any parked vehicles, mailboxes, or other potential obstructions. Your black cart is meant strictly for regular household refuse such as soiled paper products, unrecyclable plastics like cling wrap, diapers, and snack wrappers. Please remember that excessively heavy carts filled with dirt, rocks, or concrete will not be serviced.
Recycling and Organics Collection Programs
Victorville encourages environmentally responsible habits through its robust recycling and organics collection initiatives. Proper sorting helps divert valuable materials away from our local landfills. Clean paper, cardboard, glass bottles, and rigid plastics should be placed in the designated recycling bins. The organics program allows residents to easily dispose of yard trimmings and acceptable food waste. For questions specifically regarding the organics program or what materials qualify as recyclable, residents can reach out to the City of Victorville Environmental Programs Division at (760) 955-8615. Keeping our community clean and green is a shared responsibility.
Scheduling a Bulky Item Pick-Up
Getting rid of large, unwanted items in Victorville is stress-free thanks to the bulky item disposal services offered through Burrtec. Whether you are upgrading your furniture, throwing out a worn mattress, or removing old household appliances, you can schedule a convenient pickup. Residents should not illegally dump or try to cram oversized items into standard weekly trash containers. Instead, simply contact Burrtec customer service directly to arrange a haul-away date for your large items. Taking advantage of this service keeps our city streets clean and minimizes the risk of neighborhood blight.
Holiday Collection Delays
It is completely normal for regular trash collection to experience slight delays during major holidays. Burrtec observes six primary holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. If your standard collection day falls on or after one of these major holidays, your service will be pushed back by one day for the remainder of that week. For example, a Wednesday pickup will shift to Thursday. However, if a holiday falls on a weekend, your standard weekday schedule will remain unaffected.
Household Hazardous Waste & E-Waste Disposal
Victorville strictly prohibits the disposal of hazardous materials inside standard trash or recycling carts. Items such as motor oil, leftover paint, pesticides, single-use batteries, and medical sharps pose a severe threat to public health and the environment. Fortunately, the city operates a dedicated Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection center located at 14889 Loves Lane. This facility is open to all San Bernardino County residents on Wednesdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Additionally, e-waste like old computers, TVs, and cell phones can be scheduled for a special pick-up through Burrtec.
Missed Pickups and Sanitation Customer Support
Even with the most efficient schedules, occasionally a missed pickup or a damaged cart might occur. If your trash or recycling was not collected as planned, or if your bins need repair, you should directly contact Burrtec Waste at (760) 245-8607 to resolve the service issue. However, if you are looking to change your level of service or have inquiries regarding your sanitation billing rates, you need to reach out to the City of Victorville Customer Service department at (760) 955-5001.
