  • Hazardous Waste


    It is illegal to dispose of Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) through the automated residential collection program. HHW must be disposed of at a certified hazardous waste collection center or through our curbside HHW Program. Residents can visit the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources website for information on permanent collection facilities at www.rcwaste.org.

    Household Hazardous Waste includes, but is not limited to:

    • Used Motor Oil
    • Household Batteries
    • Fluorescent Bulbs
    • Fluorescent Tubes
    • Paint
    • Pesticides
  • Electronic Waste


    Electronic waste (E-waste) is an item such as a computer monitor, television, cell phone or other like materials. Due to the high amounts of lead and chemicals found in E-waste, they are not allowed into local landfills.

    Refrigerators contain Freon and other chemicals which require special handling as well. CR&R will collect these items from your curbside as part of our bulky item collection program. To arrange for curbside pick-up of E-Waste or a refrigerator, please call our Customer Service Department at 800-755-8112 for limitations, rates and further information.

  • Bulky Items


    Items that cannot fit in your automated containers, such as a chair, table or a couch are considered "bulky items." A bulky item is an object that can be handled safely by a two-person crew and may include washers, dryers, sofas or other large materials. Each residential unit or home is entitled to two (2) bulky item pick-ups free of charge per calendar year. Limitations apply and further information can be obtained by calling our Customer Service Department. You may call our office at 800-755-8112 to arrange for additional bulky item collections for a nominal charge.

  • Street Sweeping


    CR&R provides Street Sweeping Services to the City of Hemet twice per month.

    In compliance with the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the City of Hemet Public Works Department routinely cleans and maintains the city's storm drains. A street sweeping program assists the City in complying with the requirements of the NPDES Permit by removing pollutants, debris and sediments on the City streets which otherwise might enter the storm drain system. The City of Hemet storm drain system is not connected to the sanitary sewer system or a treatment plant Water entering the storm drain system goes directly to our creeks, rivers and lakes-water bodies we use for fishing, swimming, and drinking water. You can help to keep our waters clean by not leaving trash, yard waste, or leaves in the street and/or gutters. Leaves and other yard waste should be placed inside your green waste cart for collection and recycling. Street sweepers WILL NOT collect piles of green waste or leaves left in the gutter!

    You should also be aware that allowing runoff from private property which contains soaps, degreasers, motor oil and other automotive fluids, lawn and garden chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers), paint, pet waste, swimming pool fitter backwash, and other household wastes to enter the storm drain system is a violation of the City of Hemet Stormwater Ordinance. Don't allow these pollutants to enter the storm drain system! Also, consider using biodegradable and environmentally-friendly products for outdoor cleaning and landscape maintenance. To find out what else YOU can do to help keep our precious waterways clean and to protect our natural resources visit http://rcflood.org/stormwater/.

    Also, please keep the following guidelines in mind for street sweeping service:

    • All vehicles must be off the street by 6am on your service day
    • Please remove all recreational items such as basketball hoops from the gutter on your service day
    • Don't rake or blow leaves and grass into the gutter or streets. Instead place them inside of your automated green waste container to be picked up on your scheduled collection day.

    Services are not performed on the following holidays:

    • New Year’s Day
    • Memorial Day
    • Independence Day
    • Labor Day
    • Thanksgiving Holiday
    • Christmas Day

    If your sweeping day falls on any of the Holidays mentioned above, you will be swept on your next regularly scheduled sweeping day.

  • Organics Recycling Program


    Your new Organics Recycling Program will allow you to recycle your food scraps by conveniently placing them inside your green waste cart along with your yard waste each week. This mixed material (food and yard waste) will be converted into a rich soil amendment and a Renewable Natural Gas, the cleanest fuel produced in California!

    How your Organics Recycling Program will work
    Effective immediately, you may separate your kitchen food scraps and place them inside your green waste cart. If you desire, CR&R is providing a free food scrap kitchen pail for your use. The first kitchen scrap pail will be provided free of charge. Additional pails may be acquired for a nominal charge. You may place all your food scraps and other acceptable organic discards with your yard waste in your green yard waste cart for weekly collection. For information on food scraps kitchen pails please call our Customer Service Team at 800-755-8112.

    Allowable and Non-Allowable Materials that you can include in your Green Cart.

    Acceptable Materials Include:

    • Grass clippings
    • Leaves
    • Weeds
    • Prunings
    • Flowers
    • Kitchen
    • Fruits
    • Vegetables
    • Bread
    • Meat
    • Fish
    • Dairy
    • Baked Goods
    • Raw or cooked food scraps
    • Fats, Oil and Grease

    Non-Acceptable Items Include:

    • Plastic Bags
    • Rocks, sod, concrete, dirt
    • Cactus, Succulents
    • Large tree trunks and stumps
    • Wood
    • Poison oak, poison ivy
    • Pet waste

    Helpful Tips when Recycling Organics

    1. Cover food scraps with yard trimmings in your cart to avoid pests and odors. Yard trimmings will help mask any potential odors.
    2. Line your kitchen pail with paper towels or newspaper which will help keep your container clean. The liner paper can be recycled with your food scraps.
    3. Sprinkle baking soda in your kitchen pail to mitigate odors.
    4. Optional: Freeze food scraps before empting into your cart. Some communities encourage this as a sanitary way to manage food scrap storage, especially for very wet food scraps.
    5. Please DO NOT use plastic bags of any kind. Plastic bags, including “bio-degradable” bags, are not “digestible” in our Anaerobic Digester and can cause significant issues.

    Where will my Organic Materials go once they are collected?
    The materials from your green organics cart will be transported to CR&R’s new Anaerobic Digester (AD) Facility in Perris, Ca. This new facility will convert all your organic materials (yard and food scraps) into a renewable natural gas, the cleanest fuel produced in California, and a high grade compost material. This new program will help keep all of our organics out of the landfill where they would naturally decay and produce methane gas. Methane gas is extremely damaging to the atmosphere and is a major contributor of greenhouse gases.
