How trash service works in San Ramon
San Ramon’s green carts now hold food scraps as well as yard waste, and in neighborhoods from Dougherty Valley to the west side, summer afternoons get hot. That is why a cart smells by midweek. We clean all three ACI carts.
- Who collects: ACI of San Ramon, under an exclusive contract with the City of San Ramon.
- Your carts: gray for landfill, blue for recycling, and green for organics.
- Food scraps: go in the green cart along with food-soiled paper and plant trimmings, as required by California’s SB 1383.
- Questions about service: ACI of San Ramon at 925-380-9480, or SanRamonRecycles.com.
- Collection day: set by your address. ACI can confirm it when you set up the account.
- Winter holidays: pickup has been delayed one day for several weeks, from late December into early January. Check the current dates each December.
- Extra garbage: needs a prepaid tag from ACI or City Hall on Bollinger Canyon Road. Untagged bags are left behind.
- Bulky items: within three feet of the curb by 5:30 a.m., out no more than 24 hours early.
- Service questions: ACI of San Ramon on 925-380-9480.

The three San Ramon carts
The gray and green carts get dirty for different reasons. People often forget to clean the blue cart.
Gray landfill
Diapers, hygiene products, cat litter and pet waste, all high-odor and all weekly. A household with a baby or a dog has a dirtier cart than its neighbors, even if it bags everything.
Green organics
Food scraps alongside yard trimmings under SB 1383, breaking down for seven days.
Blue recycling
Sugary residue from cans, bottles and takeout containers. It draws ants and fruit flies in spring.
Dougherty Valley
Wide, largely unshaded driveways mean carts sit in full afternoon sun all summer, so germs grow fast inside.

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.
