COVID-19 Change in service: Republic Services will be eliminating the collection of any material not placed in carts – this includes excess trash bags placed next to carts, bulky waste, used oil and filters, batteries, and sharps containers. These changes will be effective Monday, March 30, 2020 until further notice. After your cart has been serviced, if you have additional waste to dispose, place the additional bags in your cart and call Republic Services to request a collection by calling (916) 635-2500. They will make every effort to collect the additional trash the following day, although it may take up to 2 days due to demand.

Residents can drop off their used oil and filters, batteries, and sharps containers to the Special Waste Collection Center (SWCC) located at 9255 Disposal Lane. The SWCC is open Sunday to Wednesday 9:00am to 4:00pm.

If you have bulky waste to dispose of, Republic Services is allowing all Elk Grove residents to haul a 5 cubic yard limit per load of waste to the Elder Creek Transfer Station (8642 Elder Creek Road) at no additional charge. The Elder Creek Transfer Station is open from 6:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday and 6:00am to 3:00pm on Saturdays. For more information please call (916) 387-8425.

We understand this may create an inconvenience for many of our residents and we offer our sincerest apologies. Thank you for your understanding. Contact: Republic Services (916) 635-2500 or City Staff (916) 627-3339
