Service Guidelines

Service and Collection Information

WM provides a 96-, 64- or 35-gallon cart (gray) to collect trash weekly. 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 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 construction waste, auto parts, tires, household hazardous waste (paint, oil, household cleaners), medical or electronic waste, and food scraps.

Set Up New Residential Service

Sign up for new service online, any time by entering your address in the “Set Up Your Service” section above.

If containers were curbside by the specified time and were not emptied, you can also report a missed pickup online. On the main dashboard, locate the services card. Click details on current service to submit your missed pickup request.

Missed pickups can only be reported for successful service attempts and within 3 days of the pickup. Visit our support article for more details.
