Collection Frequency Waiver for Commercial Recyclables and Gray Container Waste
Commercial businesses in the unincorporated County that subscribe to three-container collection service (black, blue, and gray) may apply for a frequency waiver from required weekly collection of the blue and/or gray container if they generate limited gray-container and/or recyclable (blue container) waste.

Eligibility
