If you are a Monterey city
resident, you can order a green yard waste bin
from Monterey Disposal Service. No fees to
standard residential units - you use a brown,
blue and green cart. Fees apply to apartments
and other types of services. Call
Monterey
Disposal at (831)
327-7977 for service.
Yard waste containers are
not for food waste or compostable products such
as food containers or coffee cups. The best way
to compost these types of materials is to start
your own
home composting program!
