Garbage Collection
Place your garbage cart by 7 AM on your designated day to ensure your garbage is collected. Place your cart at the edge of the street in front of your property. There are some instructions you must follow when placing your cart at the curbside, such as positioning your cart so that its lid opens toward the street.
Place only a closed-lid cart at the curbside; if your trash is overflowing, it will not be collected. Do not block sidewalks when placing your cart. Remove your cart as soon as possible after collection. To keep your cart clean, wash it after each collection.
Recycling Collection
Recycling services will be provided biweekly. To ensure recycling collection, place your cart at the curbside by 7 AM on your recycling collection day. Recycling carts will be serviced once every two weeks on the same day as your normal garbage collection. Place only clean, empty, and dry items into the recycling cart to reduce litter and spillage. Do not add any irrelevant material to the recycling cart; otherwise, it will not be serviced. Do not put any plastic bags in the recycling cart.
Acceptable recycling materials include metal (food, beverage, and pet food cans, including metal, bi-metal, tin, and aluminum), paper (newspapers, magazines, junk mail, telephone books, catalogs, cardboard, paperboard such as cereal boxes, beverage and food boxes/cartons, milk cartons, and juice boxes). Note: Waxed cardboard is not recycled, nor is food-contaminated cardboard. Plastics accepted are beverage and laundry detergent bottles, jugs, dish soap, and bathing product bottles marked with a 1 or 2 on the bottom.
