Murrieta trash service depends on WM and your address
Murrieta contracts with Waste Management for trash and recycling, so bills, new service, schedules, missed pickup, carts, and holiday delays run through WM.
Murrieta trash and recycling questions usually come down to two pages. The city page shows that Murrieta contracts with Waste Management for collection and recycling. WM’s Murrieta page handles the parts tied to your address.
Use WM for new service, billing, pickup schedules, missed pickup, cart repair, extra carts, and bulk pickup requests. The WM page also explains holiday delays. If pickup day falls on or follows a listed holiday, service moves one day later that week.
The service address matters because routes and carts can change by property. A single-family home, apartment, rental, HOA area, or business may work a little differently.
Keep the service address, account login if you have one, and the item or cart issue in front of you. Use the city page to confirm the provider, then use WM for the pickup question.
Where to see it
Murrieta Environmental Programs and WM's Murrieta service page for billing, new service, schedules, carts, and holiday delays.
