Here are a few simple ways to ensure your garbage and recycling collection services are completed.
- Allow at least three feet of space between the container and any other items. Bulk
must be placed away from any vehicles, trash and recycling carts, low hanging power lines, utility poles, mailboxes, fences, cable boxes and other obstructions. For safety reasons, containers and debris that are inaccessible will not be serviced.
- Please place your garbage container, recycling container and bulk waste curbside by 7:00 a.m. on your collection day, but no earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the day before collection. Debris set out after 7:00 a.m. may not be collected.
- Container lids must be closed to prevent spilling.
