Trash Tips

Please help us manage waste by following these guidelines for curbside collections of trash and recyclables: Do place container adjacent to the curb, with the arrow on top of the lid facing towards the street, the night before day of collection after 6:00 p.m., or by 5 a.m. on the day of collection. Do bag your waste to prevent spillage. Do wash out your container on a regular basis; it’s the responsibility of the customer to keep a clean container. Do not place containers too close together. They should maintain at least 3 feet distance from each other. Do not place container no more than 3 feet from the curb. Do not place container within 4 feet of a parked vehicle. Also, containers should not be placed close to a mailbox, underneath or next to a tree, cable, electrical or telephone boxes, or basketball court. Do not place anything outside, or on top of container. Do not overflow container. The lid must be closed at all times. Do not place rocks, dirt, construction debris, or any large heavy metal object in the container. These items may damage collection vehicles. Do not leave container out on the street. Container must be stored within your property no later than 7:00 p.m. on the day of collection Do not refill the container, and take it across the street, or to the neighbor’s curb for a second collection Do not stand by the curb waiting for the truck to empty container and then refill for an additional collection. Do not remove or switch the container from the assigned address. Do not place hazardous materials such as motor oil, anti-freeze, batteries or chemicals.
