Service Guides & Instructions
WM provides a 96 gallon cart (green) for weekly trash collection. To view your specific service day, please click here, enter your address and select "Verify".
Place container on the street with wheels against the curb by night before collection days and remove day of collection. Keep container at least three (3) feet from parked cars, mailboxes, and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up.
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.
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, plastic bags, grass clippings, leaves, branches, small shrubs 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.
