WASTE MANAGEMENT – HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE COLLECTION

Please Note:

Waste Management (WM) is not the same as the City of Brookhaven’s Solid Waste Department. WM is a contractor for the City of Brookhaven which handles household garbage pickup for Brookhaven municipal residents. If you have questions or concerns, including a missed pickup, please contact Waste Management toll-free at 1-866-604-5062.

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:
