GARBAGE COLLECTION SERVICES

The City of Watsonville provides all residents with a wheeled cart for garbage service. Customers have a choice of three garbage cart sizes.

  •  32 Gallon Cart -- Equal to 1 can
  •  68 Gallon Cart -- Equal to 2 cans
  •  95 Gallon Cart -- Equal to 3 cans

In addition, a 95 gallon recycling cart is provided to each household at no additional charge. (The more you recycle, the smaller the garbage cart you will need, and the less you will pay.)

WHAT DO I DO WITH EXTRA GARBAGE?

City of Watsonville residents can drop off recyclables, yard waste and extra garbage at the Waste and Recycling Drop-Off. Use this facility to dispose of occasional extra materials that do not fit in your recycling or garbage cart. Loads must be covered with a tarp.

The Waste and Recycling Drop-Off is open: 

9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday-Saturday (closed Sundays) and closed Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
