Solid waste collection in the incorporated City of Turlock is provided by the City's exclusive franchised hauler, Turlock Scavenger, under Municipal Code Chapter 6-3 (Garbage, Recyclable Materials, and Organic Waste). The code provides that no one other than the City or its franchised contractor may place a container or collect garbage, recyclables, or organic waste in the City (limited self-haul exceptions apply to certain businesses). City residential customers receive three 95-gallon carts: charcoal-gray for garbage, blue for recycling, and green for organics. Each cart is collected once per week on assigned routes. Turlock Scavenger directs customers to set carts out the night before service day or no later than 5:00 a.m. on service day. To find your specific service day, Turlock Scavenger asks customers to call Customer Service at 209-668-7274. Holiday schedule: service that falls on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is pushed back one day. Note that City customers and unincorporated Stanislaus County (Areas 3 & 4) customers operate under different programs; county customers do not receive the blue or green carts. Billing for City solid-waste service is handled through the City's utility (water/sewer/garbage) account.
Only the City's franchised hauler (Turlock Scavenger) may collect waste in the city (TMC Ch. 6-3); unauthorized collection or placing competing containers is prohibited. Service questions: Turlock Scavenger 209-668-7274.
