Self-Haul Exemption Program

The San Bernardino County Solid Waste Management Division (SWMD) offers a Self-Haul Exemption Program for unincorporated residents and businesses located in County Franchise Areas (CFAs) that are subject to mandatory waste services. Eligible participants in this program choose to transport their own solid waste, recycling, and green/organic waste (based on location) to designated disposal and/or processing facilities instead of subscribing to a waste hauler collection service.

Please note: Employing or paying anyone other than a SWMD-contracted franchise waste hauler to remove waste from your property is prohibited.
