| Find Your Collection Schedule |
|
| Containers Out by 6 am |
Collection times may vary as routing schedules change, and so it is very important to have all containers at the street by 6 am. We appreciate your cooperation.
Please remove all containers from the street as soon as possible after collection.
|
| Container Placement at the Street |
Place carts at the curb in an area where they do not obstruct the sidewalk or are not hidden behind parked cars.
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.
Securely bag loose and dusty materials such as ashes, kitty litter, sawdust, animal waste, and packing "peanuts" before placing in the garbage can.
Weight Limits (Overweight containers will not be emptied)
- Cans, bins, bundles and carts up to 32-gallon size are lifted and emptied by hand. For your safety and the safety of your collectors, please limit each 32-gallon unit to no more than 55 pounds.
| Item | Weight Limit |
| 20 Gallon Customer Can | Weight Limit 35 lbs. |
| 32 Gallon Customer Can | Weight Limit 55 lbs. |
| 35 Gallon Roll Cart | Weight Limit 85 lbs. |
| 60 Gallon Roll Cart | Weight Limit 135 lbs. |
| 90 Gallon Roll Cart | Weight Limit 175 lbs. |
Extra Garbage
There is an additional charge for each extra bag or container (32-gallon, 55 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
Bulky items like mattresses, appliances, console televisions, and televisions can be picked up by special arrangement. Contact WM Customer Service or call 800-808-5901 (M-F 7 am - 5 pm).
Temporary Garbage Services
Large containers are available for temporary projects such as remodeling and construction. Contact WM Customer Service or 800-808-5901 (M-F 7 am - 5 pm). More
