Waste Collection Service Update – July 13, 2025

July 13, 2025 Update: Labor-related issues are continuing to impact waste collection services in Fullerton. Recovery is ongoing and residents are advised to leave carts out and unobstructed until service is completed. Those in association communities should check with their property management for any specific guidance. We understand the ongoing service disruption has been frustrating, and we appreciate your patience.

To assist the community during this disruption, residents may utilize two temporary trash drop-off options:

1. Independence Park

801 W. Valencia Drive, Fullerton, CA 92832
Open today, Sunday, July 13th, until 3:00 p.m. or until containers are full, whichever comes first.

Please note: Only regular, bagged trash will be accepted at this location. We kindly ask that you do not bring recyclables, organics, hazardous waste, bulky items, or construction debris. Space is limited, and your cooperation helps us keep this service available for everyone in the community.

2. Republic Services Disposal Center

2740 E. Coronado Street, Anaheim, CA
Open today, Sunday, July 13th, until 5:00 p.m. for residential waste drop-off. Multiple waste types may be accepted at this location, but materials must be kept separated by type (e.g., trash, recyclables, green waste).

Additional Reminders:

• Street sweeping will continue to operate as scheduled.
• Residents with alley collection are encouraged to use street parking as needed.
• Notices of Violation for container placement and street sweeping parking enforcement are suspended during this time.
• Automated robocalls have been sent out to notify residents of potential delays.

These delays are tied to an ongoing union strike in the Boston area. While there is no strike occurring in Fullerton, some local Republic Services workers are picketing in solidarity with striking union members on the East Coast. Republic Services is actively working on contingency plans to restore full service in Fullerton as soon as possible.

The City understands the inconvenience and appreciates the community's continued patience and cooperation. We will continue to provide daily updates as new information becomes available.

For questions or concerns, please contact Republic Services directly at (714) 238-3300.
