Lompoc trash service starts with the utility account

Lompoc handles solid waste as part of the city’s utility world, so a new trash setup starts with the utility account. Once that account is open, the Solid Waste Division is the place for containers, service changes, bulky pickup, special hauls, landfill questions, illegal dumping, graffiti abatement, recycling, organics, and household hazardous waste appointments.

That order helps when you are moving into a house, opening a small business, changing container size, or trying to clean up a garage. The account comes first. Then the cart, pickup, or special-haul question can be matched to the right solid waste contact.

Lompoc uses a three-container system for many homes and businesses: trash, single-stream recycling, and organics. Carts can go out the evening before collection and should come back in the day of service. Oversized items, construction material, hazardous waste, tires, carpets, and electronics need more care than a regular cart can give.

Have the service address, account status, item type, and container question ready before calling. A mattress, old paint, a missing cart, and a cardboard pickup may all land with Solid Waste, but they do not all use the same path.
