2026 Lodi Service Calendar & Guide Even Weeks
DownloadTrash, Recycling & Organic Waste Pickup
Lodi has partnered with WM to provide residential waste service that sets the standard for sustainable trash disposal and recycling.

If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a day. For example, for a Thursday holiday, service would be on Friday, and Friday service would be Saturday. For holidays on Saturday or Sunday, there are no delays. Check for holidays that may affect your service.

What Belongs in Your Container
Beginning 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 https://www.wm.com/us/en/sb1383 Acceptable items include standard household trash like chip bags, plastic bags, & 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.
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 will not be collected.
