• CR & R Services

  
  In business since 1963, the CR & R mission has been to provide our customers, consistent services and insurance carefree and sustainable and recycling. From the moment you sign up for the service until the moment the service is delivered, we strive to offer our customers a hassle-free experience. But our work is not complete after materials are collected: CR & R also has an extensive network of processing facilities that can handle all facets of your waste stream including solids, recyclable waste, green waste, food waste, construction waste and demolition waste, electronic waste and a number of other materials. Through the extensive collection and treatment systems, we strive to reduce the negative impact of solid waste can potentially have on our environment for generations to come. We welcome you to the family of CR & R companies.

• 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. 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
  • Solvents
  • Batteries
  • Cleaning Products
  • Wood Preservative
  • Old Paint
  • Pesticides
  • Pool Chemicals
  • Printer Cartridges
  • Old Road Flares
  • Fluorescent Lights
• 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 accept E-Waste and refrigerators at your bi-annual community clean-up events.

• Bulky Items

  
  Items that cannot fit in your automated containers, such as a chair or a couch, are considered “bulky items.” A bulky item is an object that can be handled by a two-person crew and may include washers, dryers, sofas or other large materials. CR&R will accept Bulky Items at your bi-annual community clean-up events.

  Residents may also order a rolloff container for large bulky item collection at any time during the year. To make arrangements for a rolloff box delivery please contact the office located closest to you.

• Mulch

  
  A limited supply of mulch will be available to De Luz residents at our twice yearly Community Clean-Up events. Just bring a shovel and your own method of transportation. Availability will be on a first come first served basis.

  *Additional mulch is available year-round for a nominal fee. Please call our office for more information.
