Trash, Recycle, and Organics Services

Important Update

Oro Loma has made changes to how solid waste services are billed. Starting July 1, 2024, WM will handle all billing of their services. Those that paid for recycling and organics collection services on their property taxes will now be billed for these services by WM.  This change means that residents living in L1 and L3 areas of the District will no longer pay the “Monthly Recycle” charge for recycle and organics collection services, as well as the District’s SB 1383 fee, on their property taxes. The “monthly recycle” charge appeared on the tax bill– as AB 939 Recycling.

This change is intended to make billing clearer and more consistent for everyone. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this update, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
