Mandatory Commercial Recycling
Recycling service in Pleasant Hill is mandatory for commercial business and multi-family complexes, per City Ordinance. When you set up garbage service, you MUST also set up recycling service. The cost of recycling service is included in your garbage rate and so is available at no extra charge. We encourage you to request as much recycling service as you need, with no increase in your garbage bill. Please call Republic Services Recycling Coordinator, at (925) 671-5806 if you have any questions about the program. Republic Services can provide free waste audits, information for tenants, and indoor recycling receptacles.
