The City of Manteca provides residents with a yearly schedule for waste and recycling collection. This schedule typically details collection days for garbage, recyclables, green waste, and sometimes bulky or hazardous waste. It may also include information about holiday collection changes, accepted materials, and proper container placement. An example would be a downloadable PDF or an online interactive calendar specifying which day of the week each type of waste is collected for each address within the city limits.
Access to this yearly resource is crucial for maintaining sanitation and promoting responsible waste management within the community. It enables residents to adhere to collection schedules, minimizing missed pickups and potential overflow. Accurate disposal information reduces contamination of recyclable materials, leading to more efficient processing and contributing to overall environmental sustainability. Historically, these schedules have evolved from simple printed handouts to more sophisticated online tools offering personalized service information and reminders.
