On July 1, 2010, the City welcomed Livermore Sanitation and a new era in recycling, garbage and organics services. Livermore City Council selected this local independent hauler because their proposal offered enhanced services at the lowest cost compared with other applicants. The 10-year franchise agreement with Livermore Sanitation will provide new programs designed to help citizens and employers live and work "greener".

For information about Livermore's new garbage and recycling hauler, please visit Livermore Sanitation's website. 

For more information about the transition to Livermore's new garbage hauler, please visit Frequently Asked Questions.

To set up service please contact the Livermore Sanitation Customer Service Center at 449-7300.

The City of Livermore has taken Styrofoam off the menu!

As of July 1, the City of Livermore's Ordinance banning Styroafoam® 'to-go' containers for foodservice businesses officially takes effect. By switching to recyclable and compostable take-out alternatives, Livermore's businesses will be reducing both litter and water pollution. The City applauds foodservice businesses that have already discontinued the use of Styrofoam. Wondering how you too can make the switch? Take a look at the information below, email us, or call 925-960-8015.
