Residential garbage is collected once per week. Find your collection schedule using the widget below.
Placement
Please place your roll cart facing the point of collection and
allow for 3 feet of space on all sides from any obstructions (e.g. fence, gas meter, telephone pole, utility box, tree, shrub, additional collection container, or other potential obstruction).
Bagged garbage should be contained in the roll cart,
there should be no bags on top of the roll cart or on the side of the roll cart. Your roll cart must be placed at the curb in front of your residence (or in approved alleyways) by 7 a.m. the morning of your collection day (no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before). The roll cart must not be blocked by vehicles, objects, or overhanging tree limbs and it should be brought in no later than 8 a.m. on the day following collection day.
