    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.

    Extra Garbage


    There is an an additional charge for each extra bag or container (32-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.

    Household Hazardous Waste Tips

    For latex and water based paint, you can open the can to let it dry out, or add solidifying agents such as sawdust or kitty litter to speed up the drying. Once fully dry, you can dispose of the cans in your garbage. For spray paint, you can spray the paint on a piece of cardboard. Once the can is empty, the can and painted cardboard can then be disposed of in your garbage.

    Bulky Items


    Bulky items like mattresses, appliances, console televisions, furniture and building materials can be picked up by special arrangement. Contact     WM Customer Service or call 877-466-4668 (M-F 7 am - 5 pm, SAT 9 am - 1 pm).

    Temporary Garbage Services


    Large containers are available for temporary projects such as remodeling and construction. Contact WM Customer Service or 877-466-4668 (M-F 7 am - 5 pm, SAT 9 am - 1 pm).
