Report a Missed Trash or Recycling Pickup

Step 1.Leave the trash or recycling at your curb

After you report the missed garbage or recycling pickup, leave the garbage at the curb. If you don't report the missed garbage pick-up, we will not pick it up until the next scheduled pickup day in your neighborhood. 

Keep in mind, sometimes our trucks cannot pick up your garbage. This can happen because the garbage carts:

• Are blocked (e.g. parked car in front of garbage).
• Are not on the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day.
• Are within two feet of obstacles (e.g. mailboxes, utility boxes or shrubs).
• Are overloaded or have items on the lid of the cart.

Step 4.We will pick up your garbage
