Service Guides & Instructions
WM provides a 96 gallon cart for weekly trash collection. To view your specific service day, please click here, enter your address and select "Verify”.
Place carts on the street with wheels against the curb by 6 a.m. on collection days and remove same day. Keep cart at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up.
For new service starts, Call the City of Franklin Utility Billing to establish new trash service at 888-736-3640.
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.
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, 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.
If your container was curbside by the specified time and not emptied, click here to report a missed pickup via the link that will appear under the "Next Pickup” section after 6 p.m. on your service day and will remain for 72 hours. Missed pickups cannot be scheduled if your container was not out or was blocked at the time of service.
