The Right Stuff Contest
The Right Stuff Curbside Contest is now open.
Fill out our form for a chance to win the Right Stuff Contest!
The Right Stuff Curbside Contest is open to City of Victorville residential customers and encourages proper sorting of trash, recycling, and organics. Each week, addresses are randomly selected from contest entries and all three carts: green organics, blue recycling, and black trash, are checked for correct sorting.
If all three carts contain the right materials, that household is declared a winner and receives a $100 cash prize.
By entering the contest, participants give permission to the City of Victorville and Burrtec Waste Industries to inspect the contents of the trash, recycling, and organics carts at the address provided.
Thank you to Burrtec Waste Industries for sponsoring the $100 prizes.
