How days are assigned
How Poway assigns collection days.
EDCO Disposal, which provides all trash, recycling and organics collection in the City of Poway, publishes a collection-day lookup for its Poway customers, and the lookup above reads EDCO's answer for the exact address you enter; trash, recycling and organics share the day. There is no single citywide weekday. EDCO's lookup does not find every address, and one it does not find gets no day here; EDCO (858-748-7769) can give it.
We last checked Poway on October 13, 2026: 4 of 8 addresses returned an exact collection day. The days they returned were Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That is what our check saw, not a full list of Poway's pickup days.
