Residential Curbside Recycling
Curbside recycling is easy and convenient. Recycling service is available to Chico residents as a part of your regular trash collection service provided by North Valley Waste Management.
All of your recyclables can be placed in the bins without sorting. Large cardboard pieces may be bundled and placed next to the bin and additional recycling containers are available by request. The recycling container is collected weekly on the same day that your trash is collected. On collection day, just place your recycling container on the curb for collection.
For more information on how to prepare your recyclables, contact North Valley Waste Management at (530) 893-4777, or at their website at north valley waste management.
Curbside yard waste recycling is also available for an additional monthly fee. Contact your trash service provider or click below for more information regarding the yard waste recycling program. Curb Yard Waste Recycling
