Cancel a one-time service request

We understand that plans can change. Currently, you can only cancel an order online if the service was originally requested online. You cannot cancel orders within 24 business hours of the scheduled service. If you scheduled your service through an agent, please select Request Help below to cancel your order.

  1. Log in to My WM. If you have multiple accounts, select the account you want to manage.

  2. Click Orders/Requests in the "Do More Online" section.

  3. Orders are organized into “Upcoming”, “Attempted/Closed” or “Cancelled/Voided”.

  4. In the "Upcoming" section, click on the order you want to cancel to open the "Cancel Request" dialogue box. Click the Cancel Request button.

If you don’t have a My WM profile and need to cancel your request, click Request Help below to get started.

Cancel recurring garbage/recycling service

Franchise Communities: Your services can only be cancelled if you are moving from your current location. Select Request Help below to get started.
