Service and Collection Information
WM provides 64-gallon gray-lidded trash carts for weekly collection to all residents.
Container Setout Instructions
Place the container on the street the night before on collection days and remove after collection. Keep container at least four feet from parked cars, mailboxes and other obstacles that may prevent WM team members from picking it up.
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, visit wm.com/SB1383.
Acceptable items include standard household trash like chip bags, plastic bags, and textiles (donate if lightly used).
Non-acceptable items include recyclng, construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste.
