What's Recyclable At Home
DownloadPalmetto has partnered with WM to provide residential waste service that sets the standard for sustainable trash disposal and recycling.
If a holiday falls on a weekday, collections for the rest of the week will be pushed back a week day. For a Thursday holiday, service would be on Friday, and Friday service would be Monday. For holidays on Saturday or Sunday, there are no delays. Check for holidays that may affect your service.
