Green Waste Services

Manteca provides both residents and businesses with many green waste options.

Residential Green Waste Services

Residential green waste is picked up on a bi-weekly schedule, alternating with recycling. Residents may choose which size green waste toter they want to use (32 gal, 64 gal or 96 gal). Toters are placed in the gutter, 3 feet from other toters and 5 feet from any parked vehicles. Toters are to be put out the night before or by 5:00am on their scheduled pick up date. Residents may request a second green waste toter at no additional charge. Any additional toters may be requested at a charge of $13.00 per year.

TOTERS MUST BE REMOVED FROM CURB AFTER PICK UP. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A COURT APPEARANCE AND/ OR FINES.

In accordance with the Manteca Municipal code, Section 8.12.150 Refuse and recycling containers-Location. Paragraph B:

Refuse and recycling containers shall not be placed at the curb prior to sundown on the day prior to collection. All containers shall be removed from curb within such collection day.
