The calendars included in your November utility bills show City holidays that will result in a 1-day delay in service.
The next holiday with a service delay is Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 20, 2025. Refuse cans will not be collected on this day. The adjusted schedule for that week will be:
• Monday’s route → Collected on Tuesday, January 21
• Tuesday’s route → Collected on Wednesday, January 22
• Wednesday’s route → Collected on Thursday, January 23
• Thursday’s route → Collected on Friday, January 24
As always, if you have any questions or concerns regarding your refuse collection – please contact (559) 924-6744 ext. 744 or email us at refuse@lemoore.com or publicworks@lemoore.com.
We know that this is a big adjustment for our residents, but the weekly 3-can pickup will soon feel seamless!

Refuse cans missed must be reported by 9:00 am the following day for courtesy pickup. Each residence is eligible for a courtesy pickup once annually free of charge. Any extra pickups thereafter will incur a fee.
Note: We no longer recycle oil, any kind batteries and any kind bulbs. The oil can be recycled at a local auto parts store.
The BLACK refuse container is for refuse, such as household trash, food waste, rock, concrete, animal waste, etc. City of Lemoore Resolution #9912 establishes fees for violating the City’s Recycling Program. The 1st violation will result in a warning and all subsequent violations will result in a $35.00 fee added to your utility bill.
The GREEN greenwaste container can have grass clippings, weeds, leaves, small branches, palm fronds, wood (without nails, glue, or paint), plant materal and saw dust. Only loose greenwaste (no bags) will be allowed in the greenwaste container. Additionally, NO GREENWASTE can be disposed of in the black refuse container. Disposing of greenwaste improperly, or contaminating the greenwaste by placing refuse in the greenwaste container will result in a violation of the waste separation policy and potential additional handling fees.
The BLUE recycling container can have any recyclable, such as empty plastic containers, glass, aluminum, newspaper, and cardboard. Contaminating the recyclables by placing refuse in the blue recycling container will result in a violation of the waste separation policy and potential additional handling fees.
Additionally, recycling containers are located at the City Corporation Yard at 711 West Cinnamon Drive.
For more information about these recycling programs, please contact Public Works, M-F 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at (559) 924-6744 ext 744.
