Collection Tips
- Place only household trash in your rolling garbage bin.
- Only items inside your cart will be collected - do not place overflow garbage outside of your carts.
- Roll your bin to the curb the night before your scheduled collection day.
- Place your garbage and recycling carts 3 - 4 feet apart to allow enough space for the garbage truck’s automated arm.
- Bagging your garbage helps keep your cart clean and reduces wind blown litter.
Prohibited Items
Do not place the following items in your garbage cart:
- Yard waste (grass, limbs, leaves, dirt, rocks)
- Construction debris (wood, carpet, sheet rock)
- Automotive parts, including tires
- Hazardous waste (paint, oil, etc.)
