AVI proposed a transfer of ownership to Waste Connections in early 2024. On August 20, 2024, Dublin City Council conditionally approved the transfer of ownership, and the sale was completed in December 2024. 

Who is Waste Connections?

Waste Connections is the premier provider of solid waste collection, transfer, recycling and disposal services, along with recycling and resource recovery, for millions of customers across North America including thirty municipalities in California.

Will my collection day change? Will I notice any changes?

Your collection day and services will remain the same, as will the driver and staff who currently service your account. The equipment and the Amador Valley Industries’ company logo will remain the same. AVI's office will remain at the same location, 6175 Southfront Rd., Livermore, CA 94551. If there are any changes to routing or your regular service day, you will be notified in advance.

Am I required to have trash collection?

Yes, the Dublin Municipal Code requires all residential and commercial premises – to subscribe with the franchised hauler, Amador Valley Industries, to a minimum service level that includes solid waste, recycling, and organics. This requirement is in place to minimize public health and safety issues and comply with State law, Senate Bill 1383.

Are my rates going to increase?

All rates and rate structures as well as any future changes will remain governed by the existing franchise agreement.

Will I continue to receive enhanced services?

Yes. Waste Connections will uphold all obligations of the franchise agreement. In addition to the weekly curbside collection of garbage, recyclables, and compostable materials, residents benefit from the following services:

• Three on-call large item pickups every 12 months 
• Curbside collection of used motor oil and filters
• Collection of household batteries and cell phones/accessories
• Quarterly collection of donated clothing

Commercial customers will continue to have an array of services available to them, including cart, bin, and roll-off containers for landfill, recycling, and compost streams. AVI also has a dedicated Outreach and Education Team for our commercial and multifamily properties. Our Outreach Coordinators can help you right-size your services, properly sort materials into the correct stream, and provide you with resources and training for your staff.
