I always have a lot of leaves to pick up during the winter. Is my 90-gallon green waste cart going to be large enough to handle them?

What do I do if my street is scheduled for roadwork on the same day as my trash, recycling and green waste collection?

Residents are responsible for leaves that fall on their property and the sidewalk bordering the property. These leaves may be placed in the 90-gallon green waste cart for weekly pick up. Leaves that fall in the street will be collected by street sweepers every other week during leaf season. Residents can no longer rake, blow, or pile leaves in the street for collection.

Because all green waste must be containerized, the City and garbage companies have created a list of helpful tips to assist residents manage their leaves during Leaf Season (October 1st through December 31st),

In addition, during Leaf Season only, your service provider will collect up to (5) additional bags of leaves at no additional charge. Just place the bagged leaves next to your green waste cart on your regular service day. Extra Service stickers are not required for bagged leaves.

With everyone's cooperation, our City and Delta waterways will see a cleaner future!

Residents should place their carts at the curb as they normally would on a service day.

Both service providers receive a schedule of upcoming roadwork so they know to service those areas first thing in the morning. If necessary, the roadwork crew will move the carts onto the sidewalk so they do not interfere with the scheduled work.

To ensure collection, carts must at the curb before 5:00 am on the day of collection. (Per the Stockton Municipal Code, carts may be set out after 6:00 p.m. the day before garbage collection.)

Residents should contact their service provider directly for any missed service.

You have many options. You can:

Remember, pickup is now weekly.

If you have a lot of green waste year-round, you may order an additional cart or carts from your service provider.

The maximum weight for the 90-gallon wheeled carts is 200 pounds.

At this time, green waste and food waste collection are provided only in the 90-gallon wheeled carts.

Contact your service provider if you have space constraints or special needs.
