2026 Commercial Service Rates
DownloadRecycling & Trash Pickup
WM helps Albany take care of business with commercial waste services that set the standard for sustainability.
If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a day. 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.
Collection holidays are New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Annually on May 1st, Albany’s waste rates are adjusted. Specific to the May 1, 2026 rate adjustment, recycling and organics rates are increased from 70% of the trash rate to 90% of the trash rate (based on container size) for commercial customers, multi-family property managers, and property owners.
Review local commercial trash & recycling guidance before your next pickup or service request.

Container Setout Instructions
All containers should be placed in locations that allow easy access and convenient use by customers and are safely accessible to the hauler. Containers should be placed on a paved or hard and level surface whenever possible.
If container is located in an enclosure or behind locked gates, access must be provided to WM.
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.
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, visitwm.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.
