Curbside Compost Collection
Compost carts are serviced weekly. One green 64-gallon roll cart is included in your regular garbage service. Additional costs incurred for extra cans, bags or bundles. Your green roll cart must be placed at the curb to signal the driver to stop for pickup. Please refer to your calendar showing the collection schedule.
If you need a calendar call us at 1 800 808-5901 or email Waste Management Customer Service.
For the safety of our drivers, please have all limbs cut or trimmed so that they do not stick out above the rim of the container.
On Pickup Day
- Place materials at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on your pickup day.
- Place materials within three feet of the curb.
- Place the container with the yellow yard debris sticker facing towards the street.
- Do not use plastic bags, yellow recycling bins, plastic liners or containers not labeled for yard debris.
- When using Kraft paper yard debris bags, try to avoid putting wet debris at the bottom of bag; keep bags in dry location until pickup day to prevent bottom from falling out.
- Include all food waste and plant trimmings.
- Contents should not include garbage, rocks, sods, dirt, ashes, or animal waste.
- Tie bundles with string or twine (prunings are limited to 4" in diameter and 36" in length).
