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.

Containers out by 6 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.


  • Weight Limit 65 Pounds (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 65 pounds.
    • Larger carts are lifted mechanically, and are limited to 180 pounds.

    Extra Garbage


    Extra unit charges may be assessed for materials loaded so as to lift the container lid in excess of six inches from the normally closed position and/or excess bags or cans left next to the contractor provided container. Customers may specify to the contractor that they may not be charged for extra units, in which case any such extra units shall be left at the curb uncollected and tagged with written notification as to why it was not collected.

    Reduce Your Garbage Costs!


    Garbage rates vary according to cart size.
    Recycling and yard waste collection can help reduce your garbage enough that you may be able to order a smaller size and lower your garbage bills.
