Some Residential Collection Days Are Changing on October 12
Starting Monday, October 12, 2026, Big Bear Disposal, Inc. is adding Monday residential collection and retiring Thursday collection. Many, but not all, residential routes are shifting days.
Why the Change
We are spreading collection routes more evenly throughout the week. This helps us provide more reliable pick-ups and respond faster when you need help.
What Stays the Same
Your trash, recycling, and green waste will still be picked up on the same day. Please have all three carts out by 6:30 a.m. on your scheduled day
Find Your New Day
Visit our Pick-Up Schedule page to see the new collection map, or look up your address on the City of Big Bear Lake’s interactive map. If you have any questions, please call us at (909) 866-3942.
New residential collection days starting October 12
Your current pick-up day will not change until Friday, October 9. If you are not sure about your day, please call (909) 866-3942.
Questions?
Call us at (909) 866-3942 or email bigbearcs@bigbeardisposal.com.
If you have extra trash between pick-ups, you can bring your recyclables and bulky items to the Clean Bear Site and Buy-Back Center at 41970 Garstin Drive.
Multifamily and commercial customers are not affected by this change.
Thank you for your patience as we make these changes to our residential service. We are committed to providing reliable waste collection for our community and appreciate your understanding.
