Bakersfield service-area geography

Common residential ZIP codes
Common standard Bakersfield ZIP codes include 93301, 93304, 93305, 93306, 93307, 93308, 93309, 93311, 93312, 93313 and 93314. ZIP codes do not perfectly match neighborhood or City boundaries, so use the property address—not the ZIP alone—to determine jurisdiction-specific waste rules.
Local landmarks and orientation points
The Kern River Parkway crosses the metro and connects places such as the Panorama area, Kern County Museum, parks and the CSUB side of town. Other useful orientation points include CSU Bakersfield on Stockdale Highway and the Kern County Fairgrounds on South P Street. Use these references only when they genuinely help a visitor understand location or access.
