Frequently Asked Questions

New Team

Starting July 2, a new team of haulers — Garden City Sanitation, California Waste Solutions, and GreenWaste Recovery — will provide garbage, recycling, yard trimmings, and street sweeping services in most San José neighborhoods. GreenTeam customers have no service changes.

New Trucks

Two separate trucks will collect garbage and recycling – a white truck for garbage and a gray truck for recyclables. They will come to your neighborhood at different times.

New Times

All collection and sweep days remain the same, but the times of collection will be different.

Leave it out

  • Place your garbage and recycling out by 6 a.m. on your collection day to avoid a missed pick-up. Collection hours are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
  • This July, as drivers learn their new routes, leave your carts out until they are emptied. This may be as late as 6 p.m. on the day AFTER your collection day (including Saturdays).

When to call

Some services may be delayed during the month of July, as drivers learn their new routes. Route supervisors and City staff will be checking routes daily for any missed collections. If any of your carts have not been emptied by 6 p.m. on the day AFTER your regular collection day, call the appropriate hauler.
