Tacoma Solid Waste Management publishes trash days for Tacoma; this page last read them on October 26, 2026. Garbage and recycling are collected every other week on that weekday, alternating with food/yard waste, so check which week is yours on the City's schedule. Large items go through the City's Call-2-Haul program by appointment, not on a set day. Service alerts, cart standards and missed-pickup reports belong with Tacoma Solid Waste Management, not here.
