Trash Pickup
information For Residents
A list of permitted haulers is provided for filming projects, construction and/or clean-up projects. Non-permitted haulers may be subject to fines and/or removal of their bins.
Recycle Right
Recycling conserves natural resources. Many materials that end up in the recycle bin contaminate the load and cause damage to sorting machines. Common non-recyclables include: plastic bags, shipping plastic bubbles and packing peanuts, polystyrene foam, napkins and paper towels, used paper plates and cups, and PPE (personal protection equipment). Let’s all Recycle Right in Malibu.
In 2022, residents began receiving mandatory organics recycling service. The City has been offering virtual training and free kitchen caddies since October 2022. View the ongoing event schedule and details on the program requirements.

Waste haulers responsible for handling Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste must obtain a Hauler Permit prior to collecting, hauling and transporting C&D waste from within city limits. The exception is a contractor performing self-hauling.
The permit cycle is from July 1 - June 30 of the following year. Applications are accepted before June 30th annually. Sign up for Solid Waste Hauler notifications to receive messages via email or text (e.g. upcoming application deadline).
