Quick facts — Waltham trash pickup

Routes run Monday through Friday

The City of Waltham divides the city into refuse routes that collect on different weekdays. Your specific pickup day depends on your address — not the city as a whole. Use the lookup above to see yours.

Recycling alternates every other week

Curbside recycling runs on the same day as trash, but on alternating weeks. The lookup above returns your recycling route ID so you know which week is yours.

Federal holidays push pickup one day later

When a federal holiday falls Monday through Friday, the City shifts that week’s pickup one weekday later. Pacio applies the same shift to your reminder automatically.

Pacio uses the City’s published data

This page queries the City of Waltham’s public ArcGIS refuse-routes feature service directly — the same data source the City’s own route map uses. No proprietary middle layer.

Data source: City of Waltham refuse and recycling route feature services, published as public ArcGIS Online endpoints. Last reviewed 2026-06-08.

Pacio reads the City of Waltham’ holiday calendar and shifts your reminder automatically when your route actually shifts. If your specific route doesn’t change for a given holiday, the reminder stays on its normal day.

One app. Both sides of keeping a house.

Pickup day on one side. Furnace filter, smoke alarm, dryer vent on the other.

Common questions.

How does Pacio find my Waltham pickup day?
Enter your street address above. We look it up from the City of Waltham’ public route data and show your day right on the page. The app does the same thing on first launch, then sends you a free reminder the night before each pickup.
Does Pacio handle holiday weeks?
Yes. Waltham shifts pickups around federal holidays, and we shift your reminder to match. You can turn the shift off in Account Settings if your route doesn’t change.
What if my pickup day looks wrong?
Open the trash or recycling card in the app and edit your schedule. We remember your fix and stop auto-correcting that pickup. We also use anonymized corrections to improve accuracy for everyone in Waltham.
Is Pacio free?
Yes. Pickup reminders, holiday shifts, and core home safety tasks are free for everyone, supported by banner ads. Premium ($2.99/mo or $24.99/yr) removes ads and unlocks 300+ home maintenance tasks.
How does the home maintenance side work?
Tell Pacio what’s in your house — furnace, water heater, dryer, smoke alarms. We build a personalized maintenance schedule on each item’s real cycle. Premium unlocks the full library including plumbing, electrical, and seasonal inspections.
Do you sell my data?
No. We don’t sell your data, share it with advertisers beyond Google AdMob’s standard ad-serving in the free tier, or pass it to data brokers. Premium subscribers see no ads and no ad-related data collection. Full Privacy Policy.
