Set out guidelines

Trash, recyclables, bulk items, and yard trimmings are scheduled to be collected between 7:00am and 6:30pm on the day of service. Homeowners should place containers or items curbside prior to 7:00am on collection day. Trash and recycling carts should be placed within three feet of the curb or edge of the street and at least three feet away from any obstacles, preferably on the opposite side of the driveway from the mailbox with the trash cart lid opening facing the street.

Residents should use the approved solid waste cart provided by their haulers with trash placed inside with the lid closed. Any overflow will not be collected. When recycling curbside, ensure cans, bottles, and containers are rinsed before being placed in the cart and break down cardboard boxes.
