Used Motor Oil Recycling
With funds from the California Integrated Waste Management Board, the City of San Dimas has implemented a curbside used motor oil collection and recycling program for single-family residential areas.

On trash day, residents may place their used oil at the curbside in a tightly sealed container for the trash collectors to pick up. For best results, it is also a good idea to contact Waste Management at (800) 266-7551 a minimum of 24 hours in advance to schedule a pick-up. If you do not have a sealable container, you may pick one up free of charge from City Hall. The containers are available in 6-quart and 15-quart capacities.

Christmas Tree Recycling
Waste Management offers free collection and recycling of real Christmas trees. During the first two weeks in January, you may leave your tree on the curb on your scheduled collection day along with your carts. A container will also be conveniently placed at a facility for drop off as well.

These trees will be recycled, so please remove all tinsel, garland, ornaments, lights, and stands. Trees must be no more than 6 feet in length. If your tree is taller than 6 feet, please cut it in half to create two shorter pieces. Flocked trees will be accepted but cannot be recycled.

During the months of November, December, and January, residents may place additional bagged leaves for collection at no additional charge.

Disabled Service
On premises service, including transporting the containers from backyard to the collection vehicle, for those residential accounts where the adults are disabled, at no additional charge. Apply for this service by calling Waste Management Customer Service at 800-266-7551, please provide proof of disability (such as disabled placard). The application for disabled service must be renewed annually.
