DownloadTrash, Recycling & Yard Waste Pickup
At WM, we're proud to take care of our Orland 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.
CONTAMINATION AWARENESS
Unbag your recyclables to give them a better chance of becoming new goods. Plastic bags and liners contaminate the recycling stream. Join the BARE movement and keep recyclables free in the blue cart.
Important Announcement
Your everyday choices matter, and we’ve made it easier for you to make a difference. Recycling at home now includes plastic and paper to-go cups. Recycle these materials and show that small steps lead to big change. See how else you can help your community thrive.

Service & Collection Information
WM provides a 96, 64 or 35 gallon cart for weekly trash collection. Rates vary based on cart size selected. To view your specific service day, please click here, enter your address and select "Verify.”
Container Setout Instructions
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.
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, California state law SB 1383 requires residents to separate food scraps, yard trimmings, and food-soiled paper from trash and recycling.
However, Orland is exempted from this mandate. That means that food waste and food-soiled paper can still be placed in the trash cart.
Acceptable items include non-recyclables, packaging, plastic bags, non-hazardous waste, and textiles (donate if lightly used).
Non-acceptable items include construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical waste, and electronic waste.
