In June, most residents in single-family homes in the RethinkWaste service area (except for East Palo Alto and North Fair Oaks residents) received a Garbage Cart Selection brochure in the mail. Residents have been assigned a Garbage Cart size based on your current level of Garbage service. Please refer to the chart below to determine your assigned Garbage Cart size. |  |
| Current Garbage Service Level | Assigned Garbage Cart Size |
| 10-20 Gallon | 20 Gallon |
| 32-45 Gallon | 32 Gallon |
| 50-64 Gallon | 64 Gallon |
| 90-100 Gallon | 96 Gallon |
| 101+ Gallons | Variable* |
*Dependent on current service level
If you are satisfied with your assigned Garbage Cart, you DO NOT need to do anything - your assigned Garbage Cart will be delivered to your home.
Ordering a different sized Garbage Cart online is no longer available.
Please call Recology San Mateo County at (650) 595-3900 if you need to order a cart.
East Palo Alto and North Fair Oaks residents will receive new Garbage Carts in predetermined sizes based on their current garbage service level.
To find out when carts will be delivered to your community, go to our Cart Delivery Schedule.
