Finding the Meridian Waste login page and entering your account
Meridian Waste operates in several states, and the login process depends on which regional service area you use. Start by going to the main Meridian Waste website for your state — search "Meridian Waste [your state]" to find the correct regional site, since Meridian operates different portals in different areas.
Once you're on the right site, look for a link labeled "Pay My Bill," "Customer Portal," "Login," or "My Account" — the exact wording varies by region. Click that link. You'll be taken to a login page where you enter your account number and password. Your account number appears on your physical bill, usually near the top or in the billing section.
If you don't remember your password, select "Forgot Password" on the login page. Meridian will ask you to verify your identity using information from your account — typically your account number, service address, and phone number or email on file. After verification, you can reset your password and create a new one.

What to do if you don't have an online account yet
Not all Meridian Waste customers have online accounts set up automatically. If you've never logged in before, you may need to create an account first. On the login page, look for a link that says "Create Account," "Register," "New User," or "Sign Up."
Click that link and enter your account number, service address, and email address. Meridian will send you a verification email — check your inbox and spam folder. Click the link in that email to confirm your address, then create a password. After that, you can log in normally.
If the registration link doesn't work or you're unsure whether you have an account, call Meridian's customer service number. It's on your bill or on their website. A representative can confirm your account status and help you set up online access if needed.
Paying your bill after you log in
Once you're logged into your Meridian Waste account, look for a "Pay Now," "Make a Payment," or "Pay Bill" button. Click it to start the payment process.
You'll see your current bill amount and due date. Meridian accepts payments from a checking or savings account (ACH transfer) or from a debit or credit card. Choose your payment method and enter the details. Review the amount one more time before confirming — make sure you're paying the full balance or the amount you intend to pay.
After you submit payment, you'll see a confirmation number on screen. Write it down or take a screenshot. Meridian will also send you a receipt by email. Keep that receipt for your records. The payment usually processes within one to three business days, depending on your payment method.
Setting up automatic payments through your account
If you want to avoid logging in each month, you can set up automatic payments (sometimes called "autopay" or "recurring payments") through the online portal. Look for a "Billing," "Payment Settings," or "Autopay" section after you log in.
Select the option to set up automatic payments and choose your payment method — bank account or card. Enter the amount you want to pay each month and the date you want it to come out. Meridian will process that payment automatically on the date you choose, usually a few days before your bill is due.
You can change or cancel automatic payments anytime by logging back into your account and adjusting the settings. If you have questions about how autopay works for your specific account, contact Meridian's customer service.
Troubleshooting common login problems
If you enter your account number and password but the system says they're incorrect, first make sure you're on the right Meridian Waste website for your state. Meridian operates separate portals in different regions, and logging into the wrong one will fail.
Double-check that you're typing your account number correctly — it should match exactly what's on your bill. Account numbers sometimes include letters or start with a zero, so verify each character. If you're still stuck, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset your credentials, even if you think you remember them.
If you reset your password and still cannot log in, or if the website is down or very slow, contact Meridian's customer service by phone. The number is on your bill or on their website. A representative can log in on your behalf to process a payment or troubleshoot the problem.
Paying by phone or mail if you can't use the online portal
You don't have to pay online. If the website isn't working, you don't have internet access, or you prefer not to create an account, you can pay by phone or mail.
To pay by phone, call the customer service number on your bill. A representative will take your payment information and process the payment over the phone. They'll give you a confirmation number. Payments by phone usually process the same day or next business day.
To pay by mail, write a check or money order payable to Meridian Waste. Include your account number on the check. Mail it to the address shown on your bill — do not mail it to the corporate office. Mail payments take longer to process, usually five to seven business days, so send it early if your due date is coming up.
Understanding what information you need before you log in
Before you attempt to log in, gather these items: your physical bill (or a recent one), your account number, and your service address. Your account number is the quickest way to log in and is required if you need to reset your password.
If you've moved or changed your phone number or email since you opened your account, update that information in your account settings after you log in. This ensures you receive bill reminders and payment confirmations at the right contact details.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I lost my bill and don't know my account number?
Call Meridian Waste customer service using the phone number on their website or in an old bill if you have one. A representative can look up your account using your service address and phone number. Once they confirm your account, they can tell you your account number so you can log in online.
Can I pay my Meridian Waste bill without creating an online account?
Yes. You can pay by phone by calling the customer service number on your bill, or by mail by sending a check to the address on your bill. You do not need an online account to pay, though the portal makes it faster and gives you a record of all your payments.
How long does it take for an online payment to show up on my account?
Bank account (ACH) payments usually process within one to three business days. Credit or debit card payments may process faster, sometimes the same day. After the payment is processed, it will show in your account history. If you're close to your due date, call customer service to confirm the payment was received.
Is it safe to enter my bank account or card information on the Meridian Waste website?
Meridian Waste uses encryption to protect payment information. Look for a padlock icon in your browser's address bar when you're on the payment page — that indicates a secure connection. If you're uncomfortable entering your information online, you can pay by phone or mail instead.
What should I do if I'm charged twice for the same bill?
Contact Meridian Waste customer service right away with your confirmation numbers from both payments. A representative can review your account, confirm the duplicate charge, and process a refund or credit to your account. Keep your payment receipts so you have proof of both transactions.
