Wayzata Garbage Pickup
City-wide garbage pickup and recycling are on Mondays. Garbage should be at curbside by 7 a.m. If your garbage was missed or you have questions on service, contact Republic Services at 763-972-3335. To change your level of service, contact Rebecca at Public Works at 952-404-5363. Read the brochure (PDF) for more information.
Garbage Stickers and Collection Schedule
Garbage stickers for extra garbage bags over your level of service are available at City Hall for $4.00 each. Each sticker buys the equivalent of a 30 gallon garbage can or bag. Residents are only allowed six additional bags with stickers per pick up.
The City of Wayzata also offers every other week garbage pickup.
Pickup Schedules
On major holidays both garbage pickup and recycling are scheduled one day later than the regular pick up day. View the following schedules for more details:
2021 Spring Clean Up Curbside Household Pick Up
Each spring the City of Wayzata provides a curbside household pick up for residential customers who pay for recycling, organics, and garbage service on their monthly utility bills. Details about the 2021 collection coming soon!
Curbside Recycling Service
Wayzata's curbside recycling service allows you to mix recyclables in 1 cart. Don't bag your recyclables, just drop them, unbagged, into the brown cart. The following items can be placed in the brown recyclables cart:
- Aluminum cans
- Cardboard
- Glass jars and bottles
- Mixed paper (including magazines)
- Newspapers (including inserts)
- Paper bags
- Plastic containers
- Steel cans
Recycling Symbols
All glass and metal containers are recyclable. But there may be some uncertainty about plastic containers. Plastic containers are marked (often on the bottom of the container) with a symbol that identifies if it’s recyclable. Plastic containers marked with the recycling symbol and with a number of 1-7 inside the symbol, are recyclable. Wine, soup and milk cartons (with the plastic spout removed) can be recycled. Styrofoam, PVC pipe, vinyl siding, plastic film (grocery bags and stretch film) are not recyclable. Learn more about recycling by reading our Single Sort Recycling flyer (PDF).
