Keep recyclables LOOSE - do NOT bag recyclables. Empty, rinse, and dry all containers before placing in blue cart. Remove lids and caps from bottles and jars. Flatten cardboard boxes to save space. Keep food and liquids OUT of recycling cart to prevent contamination. Only clean and empty, dry bottles, cans, paper, and cardboard are recyclable. Place blue-lid recycling cart at curbside AFTER 6:00 PM the day before your scheduled collection day. Carts must be removed from curbside NO LATER THAN 11:00 PM on the scheduled collection day. All three carts are collected on the same day. Residents receive 12 free "Extra Service" stickers per year for overflow waste that doesn't fit in carts.
Holiday Schedule
Stockton curbside collection (trash, recycling, and organics) is affected by Christmas and New Year's holidays. If a holiday falls on a WEDNESDAY, residents with service on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday will receive service ONE DAY LATER than normal. If the holiday falls on a SATURDAY or SUNDAY, service remains on the regular collection day without delay. Collection operates normally on all other holidays including Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, and Thanksgiving. The San Joaquin County HHW Facility is CLOSED on Easter Sunday, July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. For missed pickups, contact your service provider after collection hours: Republic Services (209-466-3604) or Waste Management (209-946-5711). Christmas trees are collected curbside for FREE during the special collection period from December 26 through January 17 - simply place unflocked trees (remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, and stands) at curbside on your regular collection day during this period. Flocked or fireproofed trees should be cut into smaller pieces and placed in your trash cart.
