Checked October 31, 2026 against the city's and its hauler's own pages. We never print a pickup day for a whole city, because it changes by street.
🗓️ How Pickup Works
Weekly curbside collection on a day specified by your service provider. Use the City's About Your Address tool to see which company serves your address, then check with that company for your day. WM customers can also use the Schedule & ETA tool on WM's Stockton page.
The City says Republic Services and Waste Management provide weekly curbside collection in the City of Stockton; which one serves you depends on your address.
