Weekly garbage in the City of Monterey belongs to the city hauler, Monterey City Disposal Service, and its carts are the right place for everyday trash. We are not a replacement for that service. We step in after the cart is full, the lid will not close, or the pile is the sort of thing a cart was never built for.
That means a post-renovation heap behind a Skyline Forest home, bags from a Monterey Vista garage cleanup, or the leftovers a tenant left on the curb near Fisherman's Wharf. Send a photo and the address, and we quote a one-time haul-off. No contract, and no change to your regular service.
Where trash goes, and what stays out of the bin
Regular garbage and recycling carts in the city are serviced by MCDS, while Carmel-by-the-Sea, Pacific Grove, Seaside and nearby areas use GreenWaste Recovery. We do not take over those routes. Ask your hauler about rules for extra bags.
The loads we collect usually go to ReGen Monterey. Paint, solvents, motor oil and batteries cannot go with ordinary trash. ReGen runs a household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-off for those, and we cannot haul them. Details in the Monterey dump guide.
What we take when the cart cannot
- Overflow bags and boxes
The extra after a party, a move or a spring clean.
- Cleanout debris
Trash, broken furniture and loose junk from garages, sheds and rooms.
- Renovation leftovers
Old cabinets, flooring offcuts, drywall scraps in manageable amounts.
- Curbside dumping
Piles left by others on your own property that you need gone.

Typical trash jobs
- After the renovation
A homeowner in Skyline Forest has bags of plaster and old cabinet doors beside the garage. Too much for carts, so we take it in one trip.
- Overflowing at the curb
A rental near Fisherman's Wharf has bins filled and a heap of bags beside them. We clear the pile and leave the bins alone.
- Garage trash from decades
A Monterey Vista garage holds torn boxes and broken items nobody wants. We sort for recycling and haul the rest.

Garbage hauling or bulky pickup in Monterey?
(a) Trash and garbage loads
If you need trash hauling in Monterey, think of the loose stuff: bags that did not fit the bin, debris from a cleanup, branches and clippings from the yard. Garbage removal in Monterey and yard waste removal in Monterey are handled as one-time jobs, priced from a photo.
(b) Bulky junk
Large furniture, old appliances and mattresses belong in the other bucket. Those loads are covered on our furniture removal page, and the town context is on the Monterey page.
Monterey FAQ: Trash Removal
Can you replace my weekly trash service in Monterey?
No. Weekly carts remain with your city hauler. We handle one-time hauls, overflow and what carts do not take.
Do you take bagged household trash?
Yes, when it is overflow or part of a cleanout. Tell us how many bags and send a photo.
What about paint or chemicals?
We cannot haul hazardous waste. ReGen Monterey runs a household hazardous waste drop-off, and the dump guide explains it.
Do I need to bag everything first?
Loose is fine. Bagging helps but is not required for most jobs.
Can you remove trash left by a previous tenant?
Yes, when you have the right to remove it, such as a landlord or property manager. Tell us the situation.
Will you leave the area clean?
We sweep the spot where we loaded. Deep cleaning is not part of the job.
