A municipal department collects at the curb only inside its own city or service area, and the collection day depends on your address. Each listing names what the department collects, links its official collection-day lookup, and gives its set-out rules, holiday changes and contacts, all taken from the department’s own pages.
How do I find my trash day? Open the listing for your city and use its official collection-day lookup; the day depends on your address.
Does the city collect from every building? Not always. Each listing says which properties the department serves; Chicago, for example, collects garbage from buildings of four units or fewer.
What if my pickup is missed? Each listing gives the department’s missed-pickup report or its 311 line.
Sources and corrections. Each listing links the organization’s official website and its primary source page, with the date we last verified them; contacts and rules are copied from those pages, not from a brand’s advertising. Add a Service if an organization is missing, or Suggest an Edit if a listing is wrong. Submissions are reviewed against the official source before anything is published.
