The 2-year pilot program for Concord's transition to Automated Curbside Trash & Recycling Collection begins June 29, 2026. β¨
About 1/3 of residents with curbside collection are part of the pilot program, while the rest of the city will transition in July 2028. Pilot participants have been notified. Check our route map if you aren't sure: https://bit.ly/trash-map-concord. π

ππ PAY-AS-YOU-THROW TRASH BAGS REQUIRED. β οΈ
Please continue to use PAYT trash bags to cover the cost of your solid waste collection and disposal. You're in control of how much you spend based on how many bags you use. Reduce your waste to minimize expenses! The PAYT Program has decreased waste by 40% in Concord, keeping overall costs down. Getting rid of the PAYT Program would increase trash volumes and expenses (YOUR taxes). Keeping PAYT will fund curbside trash collection services in a way that's fair per the user by allowing those who create less trash to pay less. π Carts will be monitored for compliance.
Let's work together to make this a smooth transition!
