Residents in the unincorporated Los Angeles County area of Avocado Heights are now enjoying the benefits of the County’s new franchise solid waste collection system, such as twice annual unlimited bulky items curbside collection, an annual curbside clean-up event in unlimited amounts, four community clean-up projects, senior discounts and roll out services for qualifying residents, additional household hazardous waste round-up events (includes universal waste), and electronic waste collection events.

Ware Disposal has signed an agreement with the County to provide exclusive waste disposal and recycling services to the residents of Avocado Heights.
NEW RATE
As of July 1, 2010, the new rate for basic service is $21.52 per month or $64.56 per quarter. The discounted senior rate is $16.14 per month or $48.42 per quarter. This accounts for changes in the Consumer Price Index (Service Component), Department of Energy Index (Fuel Component) and solid waste disposal fees. These rates were calculated in accordance with the terms of the franchise and was reviewed and verified by the County to ensure the adjustment is justified.
As part of the new service, each household received three 96-gallon containers free of charge: one green yard waste, one black refuse, and one blue recycling container. If you need more containers for either recyclables or green waste, you may receive one of each at no additional cost, upon request.
If you would like to exchange the 96–gallon carts for smaller carts, such as 65–gallon or 35–gallon carts, or receive additional carts, call Ware Disposal at (877) 714-9273 to arrange an exchange.
