    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 60 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 60 pounds.
    • Larger carts are lifted mechanically, and are limited to 180 pounds.

    Garbage Container Options


    Cart Choices 35, 64, 96 Gallon Carts

    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


    Bulky items like mattresses and furniture can be picked up by special arrangement. For rates or to schedule a pickup email
    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. Email WM Customer Service or call 877-466-4668 (M-F 7 am - 5 pm, SAT 9 am - 1 pm).

    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.
