Monterey County, CA Home Trash Service

WM provides a 96, 64, or 35 gallon cart 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 6 a.m. on collection days and remove same day. 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. Materials outside of the container may not be collected, and overfilled containers could be upsized if three or more overages occur in a 12-month period.

View the Residential Services Brochure for more information (also available in the "Helpful Resources" section).

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 construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste, and food scraps.
