About Big Bear Disposal

Locally Owned, Community-Focused Waste Solutions

At Big Bear Disposal, we are more than just a waste management company—we are your neighbors, friends, and fellow members of the Big Bear community. As a local company with a local team, we take immense pride in serving the place we call home.

Unlike large corporate waste haulers, when you call us, you’ll speak with a real local person who understands your concerns—never an offshore call center or automated system. We’ve been an integral part of this community for decades, working closely with residents, businesses, and organizations to keep our mountain home clean.

Preserving Our Environment and Mountain Lifestyle

Living in Big Bear comes with the responsibility to protect and preserve its natural beauty. Big Bear Disposal is committed to sustainability, offering comprehensive recycling programs, responsible waste disposal solutions, and community-driven initiatives to reduce environmental impact.

We provide maximum access to recycling through curbside collection, Clean Bear drop-off sites, and our Buy-Back Recycling Center. While redemption centers across California have shut down, we’ve maintained this service because we believe in making recycling as accessible as possible.

Beyond recycling, we manage waste responsibly and offer specialized hazardous materials disposal programs to keep harmful substances out of landfills and waterways. Our mission is to safeguard Big Bear’s environment so future generations can continue to enjoy everything that makes our community special.
