    Service & Collection Information

    WM provides a 32 gallon cart (gray) for weekly trash collection. You may request a 64 or 96 gallon cart for an additional charge.

    To view your specific service day, please click here, enter your address and select “Verify”.

    Container Setout Instructions

    Place container on the street with wheels against the curb by 6 a.m. on collection days and remove same day. Keep container at least two (2) feet from parked cars, mailboxes, and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up. Also, make sure carts are out from under trees or any overhead items.

    How to Prepare Your Materials

    All trash should be bagged. Do not overfill your container – the lid must close tightly. Overflow and materials outside may be subject to additional charge or may not be collected.

    What Belongs in Your Container

    As of January 1, 2022, SB 1383 requires Californians to sort and separately collect food scraps, yard debris, and food-soiled paper from trash and recycling. This means food scraps are no longer acceptable in your trash container. For more information on SB 1383, visit wm.com/SB1383

    Acceptable items include standard household trash like chip bags, plastic bags, and textiles (donate if lightly used).

    Non-acceptable items include construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste, and food scraps.
