Container Set-out: 

Please place containers on the street side as shown so they do not block pedestrian sidewalk use.

Please note that green waste and mixed recycling are collected on alternating week. Email or call 916-875-5555 to request a schedule.

If your container is full before your regular collection day, you can call Customer Service and request an unscheduled service for an additional charge.
