How days are assigned
How Temecula assigns collection days.
The City of Temecula contracts with CR&R for trash, recycling and organics collection, and each home has three carts: black for trash, blue for recycling and green for organics. The lookup above reads the per-address collection calendar in the ReCollect service's Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) area, so it shows the upcoming dates for your property rather than one citywide weekday.
We last checked Temecula on October 2, 2026: 6 of 8 addresses returned an exact collection day, and 2 were not found in the collection calendar. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Temecula's pickup days.
