Lodi residential customers receive weekly trash, recycling, and green-waste collection through Waste Management. Customers choose from 35-, 64-, or 96-gallon carts; service is billed through the city utility bill.
The City of Lodi contracts with Waste Management for residential garbage, recyclables, and green-waste collection. WM provides automated collection using 35-, 64-, or 96-gallon carts on a weekly schedule. Customers can swap cart sizes by request through the city's utility billing office. Recyclables (paper, cardboard, plastic #1-7, glass, metal) are collected commingled; green-waste is collected on the published schedule for yard waste and food scraps under California SB 1383 organics requirements. Containers must be placed on a paved or hard, level surface at the curb for collection.
Setting out non-accepted materials or contaminated recyclables can result in non-collection. Persistent contamination or improper set-out can lead to enforcement under LMC property-maintenance standards.
