Your garbage must be at the curb by 5:30 a.m. on your collection day. If possible, your container should be at street level.
Keep your garbage container five feet away from all obstacles such as parked cars, mailboxes, telephone connection boxes, water meters, fences, and walls. If you place your container under a tree limb or power line, make sure there is 14 feet of space between the curb and the tree limb or power line.
Yes. Please bag all garbage before putting it in your container. This will help prevent it from blowing away and littering the streets.
Your garbage must fit easily in your container. The lid of your container must be fully closed to prevent litter.
To prevent litter and to ensure our workers’ safety, some items need to be double-bagged or boxed before being placed in your container.
