Beginning the week of July 11, some Newport Beach residents will receive a bill from CR&R, the City’s waste contractor, for additional trash and recycling carts above those allocated under the expanded recycling program.

The expanded recycling program was implemented in January to help meet state mandates related to the recycling of organic waste. As part of the expanded program, residential households are allocated a set amount of solid waste collection in a combination of black trash carts, blue recycling carts, and green organics carts at no charge.

Residents can review and select their household's combination of free refuse and recycling carts through CR&R’s website or by contacting CR&R Customer Service.

As of July 1, additional fees are being charged for extra carts, at the rate of $6.09 a month for black trash carts, $3.41 a month for blue recycling carts, and $4.11 a month for a green organics recycling cart. The first quarterly bills were mailed July 11.

If you would like to return extra carts, or request extra carts, please contact CR&R Customer Service at 949-667-4158 or email csnewport@crrmail.com. You can manage all your waste and recycling services through a Web-Pak account at https://oss.crrinc.com
