Trash, Recycling & Yard Waste Pickup
At WM, we're proud to take care of our Moorpark County 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 and Collection Info
WM provides a 64- or 32-gallon cart (blue) 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 6 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.

How to Prepare Your Materials
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 Container
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.
What is Contamination
Contamination occurs when non-acceptable items are placed in your cart. To avoid potential contamination charges or non-collection, and ensure your recyclables have a shot at becoming new products, it’s important that only the right items make their way.
Report a Missed Pickup
Did you know you can get updates on your service ETA with My WM? If containers were curbside by the specified time and were not emptied, you can report a missed pickup online with My WM.
Moorpark County has chosen WM to provide waste pickup, but you'll need your own WM profile to ensure proper service and billing. Enter your address and we'll help you get set up.
