Residential Containers Marin Sanitary Service supplies garbage cans (tipper cans) for all of our customers. These cans are free to use as long as you live in our service area. There are three different size containers to choose from that hold either 32, 64, or 96 gallons of loose debris. In San Anselmo you may also choose a 20 gallon cart. When you call to start your new service, you may select the size can that best suits your needs. Rates are based on can size. You may change the size of your tipper can at any time by calling the office. The tipper cans provided to our customers work with our semi-automated collection system, so they must be placed at the curb the night before your service day. If this is not possible, please inform the office and a route supervisor will discuss the problem with you. In this case, you may be required to supply your own container and a distance fee will be applied. Marin Sanitary Service also provides the most effective yard waste container available: the Compostainer. The German-made container developed by the Schaefer Company has a unique, patented design that ensures maximum aeration, eliminating odor, reducing mass, and beginning the composting process immediately. The wheeled container has a 64-gallon capacity, and is extremely convenient for use in the garden and for rolling to the curb.
