Since its incorporation in 1960, the unprecedented growth of San Dimas has transformed the City from an essentially rural area to a well-balanced community offering industrial, commercial, and residential living. In addition to the 1,700 acre Frank G. Bonelli Recreational Area which lies within the City boundaries, there are many parks such as San Dimas Canyon Park, a city-owned golf course (San Dimas Canyon Golf Club), and over 27 miles of equestrian trails for riding. The city services include an extensive recreational program for youth and for senior citizens, and the City boasts a new modern City Hall, with excellent provisions made for County Sheriff and Fire Departments, along with a fine Los Angeles County Library and Engineering Regional Office.

Waste Disposal and Recycling
San Dimas residents can take advantage of the fall leaf recycling program that allows an unlimited amount of extra leaves and green waste to be left for collection. Just place any green waste that doesn’t fit in your cart in bags, and leave it on the curb on your usual collection day. This program runs December through February.
After the holidays, residents with curbside recycling collection will also be able to recycle real Christmas trees at the curb during the first two weeks of January, on your regular scheduled pickup day, at no additional charge. - Please remove all decorations, ornaments, lights, garland, and tinsel, as well as the stand. If the stand is not removed from your tree, the tree will not be picked up for recycling.
- If your tree is more than 6 feet tall, please cut in half before placing it at the curb.
- For more information please contact the Public Works department at 909.394.6240.
