How trash service works in Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek’s green carts hold food scraps now, and hot summer afternoons make the smell worse. We clean all three carts at the curb and keep the wash water out of the street.
- Who collects: Republic Services, through RecycleSmart, the same program that serves Danville, Lafayette, Moraga, and Orinda.
- Your carts: black for landfill, blue for recycling, and green for organics.
- Food scraps: since January 1, 2022, California’s SB 1383 and RecycleSmart’s ordinance require residents to sort food scraps into the green cart.
- Storm drains: the City of Walnut Creek reminds residents that only rain belongs in the storm drain, so wash water shouldn’t reach the gutter.
- 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.
- Shared carts: cleaned in place, usually arranged through the property manager or HOA.
- Wash water: captured and taken away. Only rain belongs in a Walnut Creek storm drain.
- Service questions: Republic Services on 925-685-4711.

Shared enclosures
Walnut Creek has the highest share of attached housing in our service area, which changes both the smell and the logistics.
More odor in one place
When several households keep carts in one walled space, the odor cannot escape.
No one is responsible
Nobody cleans a cart that nobody owns.
Close to homes
Enclosures are near patios, walkways and parking, so people complain sooner.
Storm drains
Storm drains flow to the creeks in town, not to a treatment plant. We capture the wash water and take it with us.

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.
Walnut Creek FAQ
How much does trash can cleaning cost in Walnut Creek?
A first cleaning in Walnut Creek 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 Walnut Creek?
Yes. Text us your address when you book, and we’ll confirm your cleaning day.
When do you come?
The day after your regular Walnut Creek pickup, while your carts are empty.
Do you clean shared carts for a condo or townhome complex?
Yes, and it is usually simpler than people expect, since we clean the carts where they stand. Arrangements are normally made through the property manager or HOA. Text CLEAN with the number of carts and the enclosure location for a quote.
Where does the dirty water go?
We take it with us. Storm drains in Walnut Creek discharge to local creeks rather than to a treatment plant, so wash water carrying food residue and grease should never reach the gutter.
Does the holiday schedule change my cleaning date?
Only for New Year's Day and Christmas Day, when Republic Services delays collection by a day and our visit shifts with it. Other holidays close the office but do not change the route.
