It has to be "or" because "and" implies that the people have to live in both cities.

You can use either of the following depending on how you state it: You can say, "Neither people living in Burbank nor people living in Pasadena are eligible to use the landfill," or "People living in Burbank or Pasadena are not eligible to use the landfill." Saying "People living in Burbank and Pasadena are not eligible to use the landfill" may be incorrect under close scrutiny because it implies that one must be living in BOTH places, simultaneously, to be ineligible to use the landfill.

If you used AND, it seems that the person would have to simultaneously be living in both Burbank and Pasadena...I would use OR.
