Low-income Assistance
Many of the jurisdictions we serve offer low-income assistance. Please have your evidence of enrollment in another utility's low income program (such as the PG&E CARE program or the SoCalGas GAF program) ready when contacting us. Your Waste Connections customer address must match your assistance program address. Assistance varies by community.
Additional Services

Please call (805) 543-0875 or request online the removal of bulky items such as mattresses, couches and appliances. There are fees for this service.
Cleanup Weeks
Twice a year, we collect additional trash at no charge for residents of most service areas, except the City of Morro Bay and unincorporated San Luis Obispo County. Check the Schedule page for details. Restrictions may apply.
Construction Materials
Coastal Rolloff, our sister company, can handle all of your construction waste and large collection needs.
Extra Material Pickup
Extra charges may apply any time your waste exceeds the capacity of your cart. For example, when the lid won’t close or items are placed by the side of carts.
However, we do offer extra pick ups. To schedule an extra pickup, call (805) 543-0875 or request it online. Extra pickups occur on your regular collection day.
