Paso Robles Waste & Recycle

What Paso Robles Waste & Recycle does

Paso Robles Waste & Recycle is a family-owned solid-waste and recycling hauler founded in July 1957 and headquartered at 2951 Wallace Drive, Paso Robles, California. The company operates as the waste hauler franchise for the City of Paso Robles and serves residential and commercial customers across northern San Luis Obispo County, including Templeton, Atascadero, Santa Margarita, Creston, and Pozo. Its core offering is weekly automated curbside collection — landfill, recycling, and organics containers — for residential subscribers, complemented by customized commercial collection with service frequencies of one to six times per week, temporary 3- and 4-yard bin rentals, and roll-off containers in 10- to 40-yard sizes for construction projects. Recycling and organics service for commercial accounts is priced at 25% and 50% respectively of the equivalent solid-waste rate, with one recycling and one organics container included free per solid-waste container.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring monthly billing for residential and commercial subscriptions, with usage-based billing for rent-a-bin and roll-off services, plus incidental fees for extra bags ($5.19), organics contamination ($11.74 per incident), in-yard service for disabled customers, and bulky-item collection. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the company's own fleet, with no intermediary channels. A 2014-vintage CNG-powered fleet, an on-site 26.7 KWh solar array covering approximately 70% of facility power, a biological water-recycling system for fleet washing, in-house diesel particulate filter maintenance, and a sister company (Paso Robles Roll-Off, Inc.) for specialty large-container hauling collectively define the operating platform. Leadership remains within the founding Gomer family across three generations, with Dale Gomer as President/CEO and Ian Hoover as General Manager.
