Q: Why wasn't my trash picked up?

A: KWRA doesn't pick up and empty any of the three cans.  You need to call whoever picks up you garbage such as Hanford Public Works, Lemoore Public Works or in some cases, a private hauler.  Check your garbage bill for the correct phone number.

Q: Do you rent roll off bins for clean-ups, such as roofing jobs, etc?

A: Yes we do.  Please call for available size and cost details.

We are currently unable to service the areas of:
Kettleman City, Corcoran, Home Gardens, Stratford and Armona.  Contact your hauler for bin requests.

Q: How many tires can I legally haul to the MRF?

A: 9 Tires.  Hauling 10 or more tires requires a permit (FREE) from the Environmental Health Dept.  You can reach them at (559) 584-1411.
