The City has recently adopted a recycling plan, and as such, regular trash collection has changed from twice a week collection to once a week collection. However, with recycling now available on Wednesday, the total amount of refuse collection should not be affected. The trash schedule is as follows:

Do not place construction debris, hazardous waste, pesticides, herbicides, batteries, oil, paint, CFL light bulbs, cleaning fluid, biomedical waste, sharps or dead animals weighing over 10 pounds in collection carts

Residents may now place out for collection up to 4 (four) cubic yards of bulk waste (furniture, washers, dryers, etc.) on regular collection day. Brush no longer has to be bundled, but please be sure to cut limbs, branches etc. into manageable lengths no limbs over 40 pounds or longer than 5 feet.

After recycles collection, be sure to place empty carts in a location where they are not visible from public view.

Please be sure to place your collection carts at curbside only on your designated day.

Place carts at least 3 feet from vehicles, other carts or objects with the lid facing the street. The lid must be completely closed.

If you have any questions regarding recycling or trash /bulk waste pickup, please contact Waste Management at 1-800-772-8653.
