Trash and Recycling
As of July 1, 2023 Burrtec Santa Clarita Residential Services is now handling garbage in the City of Santa Clarita. This includes the hauling, disposal and the recycling. As of June 2024, the cost is approximately $85 – $90 every three months. We’re happy to report, the Burrtec drivers are always friendly with the kids, smiling while using their hydraulic arms to wave hello. The children love it!
Prior to 7/1/23, Waste Management provided our services and they will be missed! The local children loved when the friendly drivers tooted their horns as they drove by. In the adjacent photo, a home child care provider was taking the kids for a walk doing their favorite activity, following the trash truck! The workers were kind enough to take a moment from their day to pose for a pic.

(Even though their website doesn’t make this entirely clear, they do serve the Castaic area as well.

What About Cable, Internet, Transportation and the Dreaded DMV?
Television Cable and High Speed Internet Services
There are two companies who currently have agreements with the city and provide cable service for Santa Clarita residents. These are AT&T and Spectrum/Time Warner. There are also satellite type options such as the Dish Network and Direct TV, but there is no existing prearranged city contract in place. We have personal experience with DirecTV, Time Warmer and AT&T and they each have their own pros and cons. None of them are perfect!
AT&T: (800) 288-2020
Time Warner Cable: Now also called Spectrum.
Spectrum – 1-844-452-8952
Time Warner – 888-TWCABLE or 888-892-2253.
DirecTV: Now Owned by AT&T: (855) 448-3473
Dish Network: (833) 974-0292
Some residents like the satellite services of either the Dish Network or the DirecTV, so it’s probably worth investigating. Our feeling is, it’s getting too expensive to purchase these services and there are a number of less expensive online options available. Also, many are now skipping cable or satellite TV completely, just getting internet service and streaming services such as Peacock, Netflix, Hulu and a bunch more.
The Department of Motor Vehicles
There is only one location in Santa Clarita. Located in Newhall – (SW Corner of Lyons and Newhall Ave)
(800)777-0133
