Waste Collection Agreement with Waste Management

On July 27, 2022, the City Council approved a waste collection agreement with Waste Management (WM). Please visit the waste collection agreement page for additional information about the agreement.

Under this agreement, WM has an exclusive franchise for commercial waste collection in Westlake Village. This is different from the prior agreement, in which commercial waste collection operated as an open market. The new agreement establishes City-approved rates for waste collection such that all businesses will be paying the same rates.

For businesses that use WM for waste collection, you should have been transitioned to the new rate structure and been contacted by WM to "right-size" your service to ensure that you have the proper balance of garbage, recyclables, and organic waste collection and the proper frequency of service to minimize your rates.

Separating Waste

All businesses are required by City ordinance and State law to separate waste into three separate containers: trash, recyclables, and organics.
