Curbside Collection of Landfill/Recycling/Organics by Republic Services:
No changes to regular weekly service due to the Holidays, since Christmas and New Year’s Day both fall on Sundays. Residents should have their carts out by 5 a.m. the day of their regular service day as usual.
Holiday Tree pickup will be on the same day as your regular garbage service but by a separate truck during the week of January 9 through 13 for residents in Lafayette (plus Orinda, Moraga and the unincorporated areas). Trees can also be collected the following week (January 16 through 20) if you missed the prior tree collection.
Collected trees will be composted so please:
- Remove lights, ornaments, stands, and tinsel before placing at curbside.
- Trees over 6’ must be cut in half.
- Flocked trees can be collected using your annual on-call garbage cleanup at no cost, but must be scheduled in advance. Call Republic at (925) 685-4711. If cut to fit inside with lid closed, flocked trees may be placed in your black landfill cart.
Happy Holidays from the City of Lafayette!
