Do you need a bag tag for your overage weekly garbage? Extra weekly garbage will be collected from residents who purchase additional bag tags and attach to your extra garbage bag placed at the curb. You can purchase bag tags through Milpitas Sanitation (408) 988-4500, or at City Hall (cash only), the Milpitas Senior Center, or Milpitas Sports Center.
