If you’re asking “What day is trash pickup?”, use your address to check your city’s schedule or your hauler’s calendar. Expect holiday shifts. Set carts out by the required time. Use reminders to avoid misses. See our holiday calendar and FAQs below.



Start Here: The Fastest Ways to Confirm Your Pickup Day

  1. Use your city’s lookup tool. Many cities offer address searches for collection days.

Why Staying on Schedule Matters

Correct set‑out times keep routes efficient and streets clean. Many cities require carts at the curb by early morning. One example sets 6 a.m. as the deadline.


Holiday shifts and weather can change timing. Always check your calendar or alerts for updates.


What Customers Say

 “It took me a bit to get to this review, but a couple weeks ago I had to call customer service. I had completely forgotten what week was mine for recycling! She was super nice and was able to answer me right away. I was also asked if I’d like a schedule emailed or mailed to me. I preferred email and received a copy to download right away. Nothing but great service from this company since switching over months ago!!”

Quick Checklist for Today’s Pickup

  • Place carts by the required time.
  • Leave space around carts. Keep them clear of cars, mailboxes, or trees.
  • Watch for holiday shifts. Check our Holiday Calendar.
  • Keep hazardous items out. Paints, oils, batteries, and pesticides need special handling.

  • How do I find my trash pickup day?

    Use your city’s address lookup tools or your hauler’s calendar. Philadelphia and San Antonio provide clear examples.
