solid waste collection


garbage collection
Residential service is provided once a week on your designated day of collection. If you need to know your collection day, we have provided a zone collection map on this web site. You can contact customer service at 467-4345 for further assistance. Please place all household garbage and other miscellaneous trash inside your cart. Be sure to leave materials inside the container with the lid closed. Household garbage and trash placed outside the cart, or in a container other than the cart provided by the City, will not be collected. Place your garbage out for collection by 7:00a.m. on your collection day. Garbage carts, recycling bins and bulk waste should be out at the curb no earlier than 12 hours before collection day and all City containers must be returned to the rear of the structure within 24 hours of collection.
