Where to pay your CRR Waste Services bill
CRR Waste Services operates in parts of California and accepts payments through three main channels: their online portal, automatic bank draft, or check by mail. The fastest and most convenient method is paying online through their website, where you can use a debit or credit card. If you prefer not to use the internet, you can set up automatic payments directly from your bank account, or mail a check to their payment address.
Your bill will show a due date, usually 15 to 30 days from the billing date depending on your service area. Paying before that date keeps your service active and avoids late fees. If you are unsure which payment method works best for your situation, the bill itself lists all three options with specific instructions for each.
Key Takeaways

Paying online through the CRR website
Log in to the CRR Waste Services customer portal using your account number and password. Your account number appears on your bill in the upper left corner. If you have not created an online account yet, you will need to register with your service address and account number first.
Once logged in, select "Pay My Bill" or a similar option in the menu. Enter the amount you want to pay (you can pay the full balance or a partial amount) and choose your payment method. CRR accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. A small processing fee may apply depending on the card type; the portal will show this before you confirm the payment.
After you submit payment, you will receive a confirmation number on screen and by email. Keep this number for your records. The payment typically posts to your account within one business day.
Setting up automatic payments from your bank
Automatic payments remove the risk of forgetting a due date and are often the cheapest option because there is no processing fee. To set this up, you will need your bank account number and routing number, which you can find on the bottom left of any check.
Log into your CRR online account and look for an "Auto Pay" or "Automatic Payment" section. Enter your bank details and select the date each month when you want the payment to come out. Most people choose a date a few days after they get paid. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your account.
Alternatively, contact CRR directly by phone or mail and ask them to set up automatic payments on your behalf. They will send you a form to sign authorizing the bank draft.
Mailing a check to CRR Waste Services
If you prefer to pay by mail, write a check for the amount shown on your bill and include the payment stub that came with it. The stub has your account number printed on it, which helps CRR match the payment to your account quickly.
Mail the check to the address listed on your bill under "Payment Address" or "Make Checks Payable To." Do not mail cash. Allow 7 to 10 business days for the check to arrive and be processed, so plan ahead if your due date is coming up soon.
Keep a copy of the check or write down the check number for your records. If you need proof of payment, you can contact CRR and they will confirm when the check was received.
What to do if your bill is overdue
If you miss the due date, CRR will typically add a late fee to your next bill. The amount varies by location but is usually between 5 and 10 percent of the bill amount. Your service may be suspended after 30 to 60 days of non-payment, depending on your service area.
If you cannot pay the full amount by the due date, contact CRR as soon as possible. Many providers will work with you to set up a payment plan or defer a payment if you explain your situation. Calling before your account is suspended gives you more options than waiting until service is cut off.
To contact CRR, use the phone number on your bill or visit their website to find the customer service number for your region. Have your account number ready when you call.
Understanding your CRR bill and due date
Your CRR bill shows several key pieces of information: your account number, service address, billing period, amount due, and due date. The due date is when payment must arrive at CRR to avoid late fees. Some bills also show a "service date" (when your trash is picked up) and a "billing date" (when the bill was issued).
If you pay online or by automatic draft, the payment posts on the day you submit it or the day you scheduled it. If you mail a check, allow extra time for delivery. Paying a few days before the due date is safer than paying on the due date itself, especially if you are mailing a check.
If your bill amount seems wrong or you have questions about charges, contact CRR before paying. They can explain any fees or changes to your service level.
