San Ramon

On October 1, 2019, ACI of San Ramon became your service provider for the collection of RECYCLABLES, ORGANICS & GARBAGE. You must use ACI of San Ramon and the new containers for collection services.

Why the change?
  • The contract with Waste Management expired on September 30, 2019.
  • City Council directed staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Solid Waste & Recycling contract.
  • The City received competitive proposals from four different solid waste and recycling companies for the contract. All four bids included a significant rate increase to cover the cost of services in the new contract.
  • The City Council unanimously selected ACI at the November 13, 2018 City Council Meeting.
