At WM, we're proud to take care of our McCandless neighbors — and our planet — with residential trash pickup, yard waste 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.

Container Setout Instructions
Place container on the street with wheels against the curb the night before the collection day and removed on the collection 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.

All trash should be bagged. Do not overfill your container – the lid must close tightly.
What Belongs in Your Container
Acceptable items include standard household trash like food waste, chip bags, paper towels, 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.
