Household Garbage Collection Reminders:

Waste Management’s (WM) pickup operation hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Correct cart placement for WM’s automated side loader pickup is essential. Position the cart with the wheels facing toward your house. Make sure it’s at least 3 feet apart and 3 feet away from any obstacles (trees, cars, other carts, mailboxes, etc.) to allow the truck’s automated arm enough space to lift and empty the cart.

Place WM cart at the curb the night before your scheduled pickup day.

Only green WM carts with fully closed lids will be serviced. Ensure no items are protruding from the cart and the lid is fully closed.

To help keep our community clean, please securely bag and tie your trash before placing it inside the cart. No materials outside the cart will be collected by WM.

Cardboard boxes should be broken down and put in the cart along with bagged garbage. Take preventive measures to avoid boxes becoming lodged in the cart.

Please contact the Waste Management Call Center toll-free at 1-866-604-5062, Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., for assistance or inquiries regarding the following:
