How days are assigned
How Mountain View assigns collection days.
The lookup reads a per-address collection calendar for Mountain View (Recology Mountain View Collection Calendar) through the ReCollect service. There is no single citywide weekday to quote: each address has its own dated calendar, which is why the lookup shows upcoming dates for your property.
We last checked Mountain View on August 17, 2026: 10 of 12 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Mountain View's pickup days.
