Service Guides & Instructions
Service and Collection Info
WM provides a 96- or 64-gallon cart to collect trash. Rates vary based on cart size selected. Customers may use their own 32-gallon cans or bags. Find your specific collection day and view your service ETA by signing up for a My WM account.
Container Setout Instructions
Place cart on the street with wheels against the curb by 7 a.m. on collection days and remove same day. Keep cart at least four feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up.
Set up New Residential Service
Contact WM at 530-283-2004 to set up new service.
How to Prepare Your Materials
All trash should be bagged. Don’t overfill your cart – 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
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.
What is Contamination
Contamination occurs when non-acceptable items are placed in your cart. To avoid potential contamination charges or non-collection, and ensure your recyclables have a shot at becoming new products, it’s important that only the right items make their way.
