Trash Containers

Standardized Trash Containers Keep the District Looking Nice

Standardized Containers

The Costa Mesa Sanitary District Board of Directors implemented a residential standardized trash collection program throughout the District. The program offers many benefits including the following:

1. Improved neighborhood appearance on trash collection day.
2. Increase in worker safety since containers are mechanically emptied; levels insurance costs.
3. Faster and more efficient pickup; fewer containers to pick up; more volume per container.
4. Wheels on containers allow easy maneuverability.
5. Attached lid provides rodent control and keeps out rain.
6. Fewer trash spill occurrences; more stable in wind.
7. Covers spectrum of manual, semiautomatic, or fully automatic emptying.
8. The underside of the container lid provides a forum for disseminating information to residents.
9. The containers have a long-life expectancy.

Be A Good Neighbor - Hide Your Containers

Residents are reminded to bring containers out to the curb, no earlier than 5 pm the day before collection. After collection, bring empty containers back to your storage location before midnight. Containers must be stored out of the public view.
