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 https://www.wm.com/us/en/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.
Report a Missed Pickup
Did you know you can get updates on your service ETA by signing up or logging in to your My WM account? If containers were accessible 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 5 days of the pickup. Visit our support article for more details.
