How trash service works in Alamo
Many Alamo homes have larger lots and green carts full of yard trimmings, and since 2022, food scraps too. Wet yard waste mixed with food causes smell and flies. We clean all three carts at the curb.
- Who collects: Alamo is an unincorporated community in Contra Costa County served by RecycleSmart, with Republic Services collecting all three carts.
- Your carts: black for landfill, blue for recycling, and green for organics.
- Food scraps: go in the green cart. Plastic bags aren’t allowed in it; use newspaper, paper bags, or BPI-certified compostable bags.
- Questions about service: Republic Services at 925-685-4711.
- Served by: RecycleSmart, with Republic Services collecting all three carts.
- Delayed by: New Year’s Day and Christmas Day only.
- Extra pickups: twice-yearly Reuse and Cleanup Days plus free on-call curbside service.
- Service questions: Republic Services on 925-685-4711.

What makes Alamo carts different
Alamo homes have larger lots, fuller green carts and open space nearby, so their carts get dirty in different ways.
Yard waste plus food
Wet clippings pressed against meat, dairy and cooked leftovers for a week. That produces the smell and the flies.
Wildlife
Raccoons, possums and rodents visit homes next to open space every night. They find bins by smell, and dried residue keeps smelling all week.
Distance from the house
Carts stored along a long driveway or beside a detached garage are out of sight, so nobody looks inside them for years.
Getting them out
Carts need to be at the curb on the morning we come. On a long Alamo drive, take them out the night before.

Germs grow fast in a trash bin because it is warm, wet, and full of food.
Food scraps, packaging juices and trapped moisture feed a mix of bacteria, mold and yeast. Most of it is invisible. These are the organisms commonly linked to household food waste, and where they come from.
Our research found six germs commonly linked to household food waste. Tap one to see where it comes from and why it matters.
E. coli
BacteriaComes from raw meat, produce scraps and pet waste.
Most strains are harmless, but some cause serious stomach illness.
Listeria
BacteriaComes from deli meats, soft cheeses and smoked fish.
It keeps growing in cold, damp places where most bacteria slow down.
Staph
Bacteria, Staphylococcus aureusComes from used tissues, paper towels and hands on the lid.
Can cause skin infections and spreads by touch.
Mold
Fungi, e.g. Aspergillus, PenicilliumComes from bread, fruit and damp cardboard.
It causes the musty smell. Its spores can trigger allergies.
Yeast
Fungi, e.g. CandidaComes from sugary drinks, fruit and dairy.
It feeds on sugar and adds a sour, fermented smell to bin odor.
Alamo FAQ
How much does trash can cleaning cost in Alamo?
A first cleaning in Alamo is $49 for one bin, $69 for two and $89 for three. After that, scheduled cleaning is charged per visit starting at $39, or you can book one-time cleanings at $79, $89 or $109. Prices are the same in every town we serve. See all prices.
Do you clean garbage cans and green carts?
Yes. Whether you call it a trash bin, trash can, garbage can, or garbage bin, we clean all three curbside carts: landfill, recycling, and green organics.
Do you serve all of Alamo?
Yes. Text us your address when you book, and we’ll confirm your cleaning day.
When do you come?
The day after your regular Alamo pickup, while your carts are empty.
Where does the dirty water go?
We capture it instead of letting it run down your driveway. In Contra Costa County, only rain is allowed down the storm drain.
Do you serve homes with long driveways or gated entries?
Yes. We work at the curb, so leave the carts at the road on the morning of your cleaning. If your property has a gate or access code, text it to us when you book.
My carts are stored a long way from the street. Is that a problem?
No. You only need to bring them to the curb the night before or that morning. We handle the rest, including taking the dirty water away with us.
Will cleaning stop raccoons and rodents getting into my bins?
It removes one of the things drawing them to your cart specifically, which is the smell of residue inside it. It will not solve an established pest problem that has another food source, so use it as one step among several.
