Before the implementation of recycLA, businesses and multifamily buildings in the City received waste collection services from unregulated private haulers. However, most did not have access to the same recycling services enjoyed by single-family homes. Since 2017, recycLA has been instrumental in making recycling available to all.

The recycLA program has provided waste collection services to over 66,000 businesses and multifamily buildings throughout the City, organized into eleven (11) zones. All commercial, industrial, and large multifamily establishments within the city limits are now exclusively served by designated waste collection companies, referred to as recycLA service providers (RSPs).

This program has successfully reduced truck congestion in our neighborhoods and minimized wear and tear on our streets. RSPs are mandated to use only clean-fuel burning trucks, contributing to the improvement of air quality in the City. Today, the program continues to have a positive impact on enhancing the overall quality of life in Los Angeles.

The recycLA initiative surpasses traditional services by offering expanded services to meet the unique needs of businesses and large multifamily customers. Numerous services that were previously unavailable to these customers are now provided, including the provision of blue bins for recycling, the introduction of new trash bins, routine maintenance and replacement of bins, graffiti removal, new state-of-the-art waste collection vehicles running on clean fuel, and the implementation of organics recycling.

If you have questions about recycLA, please call our 24-hour Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489.

The RSPs will provide efficient collection and processing of solid resources to all commercial, industrial, and large multifamily customers located inside the City of Los Angeles, including but not limited to:
