Trash and Recycling

Waste Management Crew Friendly With Children

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 September 2023, the cost is approximately $85 – $90 per month.

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. Perhaps our new Burrtec driver/operators will do the same.

Water Service

All of Santa Clarita is served by SCV Water. Depending on location, your account will be managed by one of three divisions as listed below. In North Valencia we are served by the SCV Water – Valencia Division. Although it’s NOT clear by looking at their website, they also provide water for Castaic.

Important Note: As of May 2022, SCV residents have once again been asked take steps to conserve water during the current drought conditions. Learn more and see our tips for saving water in your Santa Clarita home.

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.
