Trash, Recycling & Organic Waste Pickup
At WM, we're proud to take care of our Fort Bragg neighbors — and our planet — with residential trash pickup, organics and recycling services.
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.

Service Information
WM provides a 96-, 64-, 35- or 20-gallon cart (gray) to collect trash. Rates vary based on cart size selected. Find your specific collection day and view your service ETA by signing up for a My WM account.
Container Setout Instructions
Place cart at the curb with wheels against the curb by 5 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.

Service Instructions & Limitations
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 Cart
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.
