Providence, RI trash pickup by address.

Trash / garbage: Friday.

Recycling: Friday.

The day above is an example from one Providence address, last checked on September 11, 2026.

A holiday landing on a collection day pushes that pickup and the rest of that week one day later.

Carts may be put to the curb after 4:00 pm on the day preceding your collection day.

By midnight of collection day the carts must be removed from the curb and stored in an area that is not viewable from the street.

Place carts no more than three feet from the street, at least three feet apart from each other, and away from obstacles such as mailboxes and telephone poles.

Cart handles and wheels should face the house while the arrows on the lid face the street, and the lid must close tightly with no material sticking out.
