Your food waste and yard debris is collected every other week on the same day as
your trash collection. Please refer to your calendar showing the collection
schedule. If you need a calendar call us at 800-808-5901 or email WM
Customer Service.
On yard debris day, you can set out one 64-gallon WM provided roll cart (no
plastic bags, please) of yard trimmings every other week for no extra charge.
Any additional 32-gallon cans, paper Kraft bags or bundles (prunings are limited
to 4" in diameter and 36" in length) will be collected for an extra
charge.
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.
