If you have more household garbage than will fit inside your cart please call Republic Services, (209) 466-3604, to request an extra service pick-up, for which there is a fee.

Holiday Pick-Up Information

Republic Services observes two holidays a year, Christmas and New Years Day. If your collection day falls on one of these holidays, or late in the week of that holiday, service will be delayed by one day late the rest of the week. All other holidays throughout the year will have regularly scheduled services. For two weeks following Christmas, you may put your wrapping paper out in a separate garbage bag and place it next to your garbage container for pick up. Additionally, during this time frame Republic Services will collect discarded Christmas Trees. Please discard all ornaments, nails, tinsel, lights and tree stands - trees containing these items cannot be serviced. Place the tree curbside on your garbage collection day.
