Clovis Gray, Blue and Green Toter Rules — What Residents Should Do Before 6 AM
Clovis residents should treat the three-cart system as a same-day routine. The basic official instruction is simple: have your toters out by 6:00 AM on your collection day. In real life, the missed-pickup problems usually come from late set-out, blocked carts, lids that do not close, wrong material, or trying to use weekly carts for clean-up debris.
Gray cart — trash/refuse
- Use for normal household refuse.
- Keep the lid closed when possible.
- Do not use for hazardous waste, batteries, bulky items, construction debris or automotive parts.
- For trash service questions, contact the City of Clovis Solid Waste Office.
Blue cart — recycling
- Use for accepted recyclables only.
- Keep recyclables clean and dry.
- Do not place hazardous material in the container.
- For recycling questions, contact Mid Valley Disposal.
Green cart — organics
- Use for accepted green waste and organics.
- Weeds, grass clippings, leaves and food waste should go in the greenwaste/organics cart for regular weekly pick-up.
- Do not use green carts for Community Clean-Up piles.
- For organics questions, contact Mid Valley Disposal.
Driver tips from service guidance: carts must be placed out for service, lids should close, containers should not be blocked by parked vehicles, and enclosures should stay clear and free of excess waste.

| No alley pick-up | Place debris at the curb directly in front of the property. | Crews are routed for curbside collection, not alley collection. |
| Keep vehicles off street | Park vehicles off the street during collection until items are picked up. | This reduces property damage risk and helps trucks access piles. |

Missed Trash Pickup in Clovis — Who to Call and What to Check First
A missed Clovis pickup depends on what was missed. Trash/refuse service questions should go to the City of Clovis Solid Waste Office. Recycling and organics questions should go to Mid Valley Disposal. Community Clean-Up issues depend on whether the debris was out by 6 AM, within the two-week window and separated correctly.
Check the time
Residential toters and clean-up debris need to be out by 6:00 AM. Late set-out may not qualify as a missed pickup.
Check blocked access

Check the material
Hazardous waste, tires, rocks, treated lumber, electronics, construction debris and other prohibited items may be left behind.
Call the correct provider
Call the City at 559-324-2604 for trash/refuse. Call Mid Valley at 559-268-0734 for recycling, organics, sharps, batteries, oil kit or Mid Valley service issues.
