Commercial Trash & Recycling Pick Up Service

Commercial trash and recycling service is available to businesses located in the City of Big Bear Lake, Fawnskin, Baldwin Lake and Lake Williams only.  Residents of Big Bear City, Sugarloaf and Erwin Lake please contact Community Services District (CSD) at (909) 585-2565.

Both commercial trash and recycle cans are picked up once per week on a predesignated day of the week based on your address.  Please contact our office at (909) 866-3942 for pick up day information.

The City of Big Bear Lake prohibits leaving trash cans at the curb for more than 12 hours. Trash that has been left out for an extended period of time can be alluring to local wildlife and loose pets.

If you have additional refuse such as "green waste" to be picked up, contact our offices at least one day prior to your scheduled service day. We will take up to five (5) bags of pine needles per week. Call a day ahead of your regular pick up and we will take up to fifteen (15) bags of additional pine needles. Do not place pine needles in green can.
