WM provides garbage service within the urban areas and throughout rural Vernonia.
Containers Out by 6 am
Collection times may vary as routing schedules change, and so it is very important to have all containers at the street by 6 am. We appreciate your cooperation.
Please remove all containers from the street as soon as possible after collection.
Container Placement at the Street
Place carts:
Three (3) feet apart
At least three (3) feet from cars, trees, mailboxes, fences
Cart wheels as close to the curb as possible
Cart lids opening toward street
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.
