- Cart lids opening toward street
When possible, trucks with robotic arms will lift, empty and replace the carts without the drivers leaving the trucks, reducing safety hazards and traffic congestion.
Please remove all containers from the street as soon as possible after collection.
Extra Garbage
There is an an additional charge for each extra bag or container (15-gallon, 65 lb. limit) that doesn't fit in your garbage container with the lid closed. If you often have extra garbage, you may want to increase your garbage container size to avoid overflow and extra garbage charges.

Bulky items like mattresses, appliances, console televisions, furniture and building materials can be picked up by special arrangement. Contact Waste Management Customer Service or 1 800 592-9995 (M-F 7 AM - 5 PM).
Reduce Your Garbage Costs!
