Your Trash Service Includes MarBorg offers curbside pick-up with free, easy-to-maneuver, wheeled carts for trash, greenwaste, and recycling. Curbside wheeled carts are available in 95, 65, and 35 gallon sizes. Trash service includes unlimited weekly greenwaste and biweekly recycling. To change services or adjust your service volume, please contact us at 805-963-1852. As a reminder for curbside pick-up: Place your containers at the curbside by 6 am. Leave at least one foot of space between your containers and any other obstacles (cars, trees, etc.). Place your containers with the handles facing your house, so the lid opens facing the street. Leave enough space around your mailbox for the post office to deliver your mail. Make sure your cart lids fully close don t overfill the containers. Rates are generally updated each July 1st. Current rates are located on our website, www.marborg.com/collection-rates-santa-barbara. If we miss your service, please call the office within 24 hours so that we can send a vehicle to empty your containers.
