Feb. 17-21 Regular Trash Collection Schedule

The regular trash collection schedule will be in effect February 17-21, despite the Presidents' Day holiday on February 17.

Cerritos City Hall, Cerritos Library, Cerritos Senior Center at Pat Nixon Park and the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts Ticket Office will be closed on Monday, February 17 in observance of Presidents’ Day. All park facilities will maintain regular hours. Trash collection schedules will not be affected. The City’s street sweeping parking ordinance will not be enforced from February 17 to 21. 

As a reminder, the City’s trash hauler, CalMet Services, Inc., offers free bulky item and electronic waste pick-ups.

Bulky items are large items that will not fit into the trash and recycling containers, and include household appliances, mattresses, furniture and miscellaneous bulky items such as metal pipes, wood and carpet.

Miscellaneous bulky items must be cut to four feet in length and bundled with string, and may not exceed a weight of 50 pounds.

Pick-up is also available for additional bagged or bundled waste and green waste that will not fit into your trash or recycling carts.

Electronic waste such as computers and monitors, televisions and cell phones can also be scheduled for curbside pick-up. (Cell phones should be placed in a box on the curb.)

To schedule a bulky item or electronic waste pick-up, please call CalMet’s Customer Services Department at (562) 259-1239 at least 24 hours prior to your regular trash service day. Please specify what types of items are to be removed. CalMet requests that each bulky item or electronic waste pick-up not exceed five items. Residents who schedule a bulky item or electronic waste pick-up should place the items at the curb no earlier than sunset the night prior to the regular trash collection day and no later than 7 a.m. the morning of the scheduled pick up.

Items not eligible for bulky item pick-up include construction material, tires, car and boat parts, and other hazardous waste. Hazardous waste can be dropped off at a household hazardous waste round-up. To find an upcoming household hazardous round-up event, call (888) CLEAN-LA or visit cleanla.com.

Before scheduling a bulky-item or electronic waste pick-up, consider donating your usable goods to charity. To donate items, call Goodwill industries at (888) GOODWILL or the Salvation Army at (800) 95-TRUCK for more information.
