Garbage Collection
Garbage collection is performed twice a week. Please keep toys, bikes and other "keepers" away from the curb on collection days. That way we won’t take them by mistake.
NO: tires, construction and demolition debris, auto and boat parts, barrels, drums and empty gas tanks.
Yard Waste Collection
Any cut limbs, palm fronds, branches, bushes, twigs or grass clippings are considered "yard waste". Please follow these basic preparations:
Large branches, limbs and other cuttings should be bundled and tied, and they should not exceed six feet in length or weigh more than 50 pounds.
Grass clippings, leaves, and small twigs or branches must be placed in sturdy plastic bags securely closed or in containers (with lids) not to exceed 32 gallons or weigh more than 50 pounds.
Recycling
Recyclables
Use the yellow bin for papers (newspapers, magazines and catalogs, brown paper grocery bags, clean corrugated boxes).
Use the blue bin for all the rest (clear brown and green glass containers – with no lids, plastic containers with the 1 through 7 recycling code on them, aluminum cans, pie plates and foil, milk cartons, juice cartons, and drink boxes).
Bulk Pickup
Single-family residences can get rid of old furniture, appliances, and large limbs (over 4" around) at no extra charge. Call us to schedule a pickup.
Curbside Tips
- Set out your waste in front of YOUR property.
- Set out your bins only when they are full.
- Keep garbage bags tightly tied.
- In stormy or windy weather, stack your bins. Put the paper bin on the bottom to prevent papers from flying away.
- Place your waste at the curb or within six feet from the edge of the street so it's easy to see.
- Use recyclables bins only for the proper recyclables. If there are other types of trash or garbage in your recycling bins, we have to leave them behind.
- Materials like paints, pesticides, pool chemicals, anti-freeze and engine oil need to be disposed of in special ways. Call 697-2700 for more information.
