Local services and rules

Moving to Orange: who to call and what the city asks.

The City of Orange is transitioning to a new water utility billing system on October 26, 2026. Old Towne Orange contains the largest Nationally Registered Historic District in California. Trash, recycling and food waste are all handled by one company, CR&R Environmental Services, and each residential account has a free bulky item allowance.

Street sweeping days and carts

The City of Orange runs street sweeping on set days. When trash collection and street sweeping fall on the same day, carts go on top of the curb or parkway, not in the street.

Resident parking permits

The City of Orange has an online permit registration system. Permits can also be registered at the Orange Police Department Traffic window Monday through Thursday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Starting water and sanitation service

To start water and sanitation services with the City of Orange, the City needs a minimum of one business day to process the request, according to the City's utility billing page. An establishment fee is charged to all new accounts and appears on the first billing.

CR&R trash service and bulky item pickup

The City's trash, recyclables and organics (green waste and food waste) are collected by CR&R Environmental Services. To start or stop trash service, contact CR&R by phone at (714) 372-8272.

CR&R provides a free bulky item collection program, and each City of Orange residential account is entitled to four bulky item collections six times a year. To reserve a collection date, contact CR&R at (714) 372-8272, then place the item out on the regularly scheduled trash collection day.

Hazardous waste centers and the Glassell Street recycling site

Orange County residents can drop off household hazardous waste such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries and pesticides for free at the County's four Household Hazardous Waste Collection Centers. Proof of County residence may be requested.

Residents without curbside recycling collection may take recyclables to the Waste Management facility at 2050 N. Glassell St.

Old Towne Orange, Metrolink and John Wayne Airport

Old Towne Orange is accessible from the Orange Metrolink Station. John Wayne Airport is owned and operated by the County of Orange.

Orange Unified schools and the Orange Public Library

Orange Unified School District educates approximately 26,000 Preschool-12th grade students in the cities of Orange, Villa Park, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, and unincorporated county areas.

A library card from the Orange Public Library requires California residency. Bring a valid photo ID, such as from the Department of Motor Vehicles, that verifies name and current address.

Homeowners' Exemption, dog licenses and voter registration

The deadline for filing for the full $7,000 Homeowners' Exemption with the Orange County Assessor is February 15th at 5:00 P.M. Qualified applicants filing on or before December 10th may receive 80 percent, which is $5,600.

All dogs in Orange County over the age of four months must be licensed and vaccinated against rabies, and a dog must be licensed within 15 days of acquisition. Cat licensing is optional.

Orange County voters can register to vote for the first time or update their address through the county elections website.
