LOS BANOS — November 2, 2026. Los Banos’ municipal finance page lists residential collection rates of $47.30 for a smaller gray refuse cart and $49.03 for a 96-gallon gray cart, both with recycling and green-waste carts.

Three carts in the regular bundle

The city’s standard configuration includes a blue 96-gallon recycling cart, a green 96-gallon organic-waste cart and either a 64- or 96-gallon gray trash cart. Actual invoices can include additional fees.

Charges for extra service

The city also lists a $64.05 overload charge and $17.48 contamination charge, with separate rates for commercial and dumpster service. The effective rate schedule should be confirmed before budgeting for a new address.

Who provides collection

Los Banos lists Mid Valley Disposal for refuse inquiries, phone 209-270-5100. Customers can ask about the correct set-out calendar and whether bulky items need a separate appointment.
