Curbside Garbage
WM carts are required for all collection to make service safer and more
efficient.
Remember to place carts at curb the night before your service day.
October 1 - May 31 service begins 6 am.
June 1 - September 30 service begins 5 am.
Please remove all containers from the street as soon as possible after
collection.
Container Placement at the Street
Place carts:
Three (3) feet apart
At least three (3) feet from cars, trees, mailboxes,
fences
Cart wheels as close to the curb as possible
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.

Garbage Container Options
Extra Garbage
Garbage charges are based on cart size. There is a charge
for extra garbage that doesn't fit in your cart with the lid
closed. If your garbage cart lid is open more than 6 inches,
there will be a charge for extra garbage.
If you often have extra garbage, you may want to increase
your garbage size to avoid overflow and extra garbage
charges.

Bulky items like mattresses and furniture can be picked
up by special arrangement. For rates or to schedule a

Reduce Your Garbage Costs!

collection can help reduce your
garbage enough that you may be able to order a
smaller size and lower your garbage bills.
