Allied Waste Services and Green Waste Recovery
 We are pleased to announce that Allied Waste Services and Green Waste Recovery have entered into a partnership that will result in Allied Waste Services taking over collection of Green Waste's business interests in San Jose. This decision is based on the City of San Jose recently awarding an exclusive waste and recycling commercial collection franchise to Allied Waste Services, effective July 1, 2012, in an effort to increase recycling diversion, streamline collection rates and decrease carbon impacts to the City.
This early transition means your new service will be established and tailored to your company's needs well before July 1, 2012. We expect this transition to be seamless for our customers and enhance our ability to serve you. You will continue to receive the same great service from professional employees.
Facts about your new service:
- Service begins January 1, 2012
- You will receive one invoice on or around January 1, 2012 for January services (All invoicing going forward will be from Allied Waste Services).
- For now your collection day and onsite containers will remain the same. Changes may be implemented in 2012 to enhance your services.
- Please use our W-9 form (download pdf) for your convenience. Please submit to your Accounts Payable team so Allied Waste may be recognized as a new vendor for your company. For electronic payment options, visit our bill payment options page.

- Please contact Allied Waste Services at (408) 432-1234 or visit our contact page.
From all of us at Allied Waste Services, we thank you for your business.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will this change go into effect?
Will my collection rates increase?
Not necessarily. Your rates will remain the same at this time. City-wide rates will be established this Spring and customers will be informed of the new cost structure in advance of the July 1, 2012 start date.
Will I continue to receive a bill from Green Waste Recovery?

There is a possibility you may have service day/time changes as Allied Waste establishes effective service routes. Allied Waste will be working with businesses prior to the start date to assess any needs in service level changes.
Will I be receiving a new bin or cart?
No. We will be acquiring the bins/carts from Green Waste and plan to keep the containers in place so there will be no disruption in service. If we notice any issues with a container we will schedule the necessary repair or replacement.

We should have all the data transferred into our system by the week of January 9, 2012.
