Update: Monday, July 14, 2025
Republic Services' drivers are scheduled to recover the debris that was missed last week as picketing has ceased. We are still anticipating delays on waste collection, this week, due to the labor issues experienced last week with our contract service provider, Republic Services. If your trash was not picked up during your regular scheduled collection day or over the weekend, please leave your bins out for pickup that may be carried out during this week. If you are in an association community, check with your management for any guidance.
Additionally, Republic Services has placed five (5) roll-off bins throughout the City for trash drop-off at the locations listed below. Trash waste needs to be bagged. No bulky items, hazardous waste materials, e-waste or dry brush will be accepted. Roll-off bins will be open from 7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Trash bags will also be available to the community to pick-up at the Brea Community Center, 695 Madison Way, Brea, during their operating hours. Below are the sites where you are able to dispose of your waste in a roll-off container.
1. Carbon Canyon/Olinda Village; 120 Olinda Pl., Brea

Note - if a bin is not at said location, it has been taken to be serviced due to it reaching capacity and will be returned.

Coronado St., Anaheim, open from 5:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. you must show proof of Brea residency.
