We've created a Waste Wizard tool to help residential customers sort waste properly -- everything from where to take paint and proper medication and sharps disposal to electronics and other recyclables. While we have single bin approach to trash and recycling, not everything can go into your one big bin. Some require that you schedule a pick up for curb side pick up or drop-off materials at a local facility.

According to Senate Bill 1383, California needs to make sure that 75 percent of organic waste is diverted from landfills by 2025. To make this happen, Roseville will keep using the Material Recovery Facility (MRF) located at 3033 Fiddyment Rd in Roseville. As part of this plan, residents will still put their food scraps together with their trash and recycling for the MRF to sort them. Rest assured, we will let our residents know in advance if there are any adjustments to this program.
Recycling in Roseville is easy with several convenient drop-off locations available. Looking for cardboard, newspaper, beverage containers, and more?
We handle the recycling, but some items need extra care.
Household hazardous and universal waste can’t go in your garbage bin. That includes items like batteries, paint, chemicals, and fluorescent bulbs. Keeping them out protects workers, prevents contamination, and keeps our system running safely.
Do your part. Keep hazardous waste out of the bin.

We turn food waste into energy and compost since implementing the organics recycling program aimed to keep waste out of landfills, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and bolster alternative energy by diverting this waste to create renewable energy or helps create compost.

Expanding your recycling efforts, like separating cardboard and organics, helps reduce waste and improve overall efficiency. Call (916) 774-5780 to learn about available recycling services.
