Please help us with your solid waste and recyclable collections by following the guidelines listed below:

Strong winds, neighborhood pets and scavengers will sometimes scatter trash if is not prepared properly by each household. To prevent trash from being scattered, we recommend you tie off each bag securely, not let pets run loose, double wrap food scraps to prevent odors from attracting animals, and place curbside only on collection day. The City requests that receptacles not be left out at curb on days other than their designated collection day.

Your trash and recyclables must be placed at the curb in front of your home, at curbside, by 7am on your collection day. House numbers should be visible from the street. Curbside means your container can be reached while standing on the edge of the street.

For ease of correct identification of pickup please leave at least 10’ of space between trash and recyclables.

Collection days are as follows:

Trash & Recyclable Paper	Yard Waste
Monday--------Ward I	Monday------ Ward IV
Tuesday-------Ward II	Tuesday------Ward III
Wednesday-- Ward III	Wednesday--Ward II
Thursday------Ward IV	Thursday----- Ward I

On major holidays (New Years Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas) the collection days may change. Please check your newspaper, radio or this website for changes in routes. All other holidays will remain on regular scheduled routes.

Every effort should be made to keep all trash and recyclables dry. Wet paper cannot be recycled and wet trash is heavier and costs more for landfill disposal.
