Auburn Commercial Garbage Service Collection
Auburn City Code Chapter 8.08.020 requires all parcels with water service to subscribe to garbage service in order to maintain public health, prevent public litter, and preserve the natural resources. If there are multiple units, at least one of the units must have garbage service. Property Managers/Owners are required to provide adequate garbage service for all tenants. Yard trimmings are not allowed in garage or recycling containers. Visit yard+food waste service to sign up for a subscription service.- Set-up Service information - call the WM Customer Service at 253-939-9792.
- Please bag all garbage. Double bag animal waste, foam packing materials, cool ashes, sawdust.
- Collection area: To ensure the safety of all, please maintain clear and safe access to containers. Place containers in an open or well-lit area and ensure that the overhead clearance is a minimum of 14 feet in height.
- Keep containers accessible: To prevent delays in your collection service, please ensure vehicles are not parked in front or on the side of your containers. In addition, make sure gates or access to your containers are unlocked for service and keep containers clear of snow and ice.

Containers Out by 5 am
Collection times may vary as routing schedules change, and so it is very important to have all containers at the street and/or dumpsters available by 5 am. We appreciate your cooperation. Place two feet apart from other containers and five feet from any structure with lid facing street.
Place containers out in such a way that does not restrict the reasonable and safe use of the street, sidewalk, or bicycle lanes by pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles.
Remove containers from public property no later than 24 hours after your collection day.
