Curbside Garbage and Trash Pickup
Residential Garbage Collection:
All residential customers shall use a city issued 95-gallon automated collection container.
Residential customers may select multiple, up to three, automated collection containers (each container is an additional $10/monthly charge with any additional taxes).
If the container is stored outside, it shall be kept so as to protect the container and its contents from animals. Garbage placed in the container shall be bagged and tied to prevent blowing during collection. Loose garbage placed in the container will not be allowed and violators may be penalized.
Trash totes need to be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. They should be placed at the back of the curb, a three-foot minimum of clearance from each other, and all other obstructions. Failure to do so may result in your residence being by-passed for collection. Please refer to the City calendar for any variations of pick-up date due to holidays.
Residents are responsible for picking up garbage from their tipped containers.
