Most solid waste in Contra Costa County is collected and transported by companies franchised by local government.

A non-franchised business can also legally offer hauling services in the unincorporated area of the county – but only with a permit from Contra Costa Environmental Health (CCEH).

The Board of Supervisors requires a permit for non-franchised trash haulers to curb illegal dumping and other unsafe, environmentally unfriendly practices.

Haulers with CCEH permits carry adequate insurance, are required to obtain performance bonds, operate vehicles that have been inspected and follow the county rules about collecting and transporting solid waste.

As of March 1, 2018, all non-franchised haulers must have a current permit to collect waste in unincorporated parts of Contra Costa County. Permitted haulers are issued decals for their vehicles.
