Curbside Garbage

Containers Out by 7 am


Collection times may vary as routing schedules change, and so it is very important to have all containers at the street by 7 am. We appreciate your cooperation.

Please remove all containers from the street as soon as possible after collection.


Container Placement at the Street


Place carts:
  • Three (3) feet apart
  • At least three (3) feet from cars, trees, mailboxes, fences
  • Cart lids opening toward street
  • Where available, place carts in grass planter strips between the curb and sidewalk.
  • If planter strips are not available, yet sidewalks are wide enough, place carts front of sidewalk in such a way that does block wheelchair or pedestrian access.

    Final option: If planter strips are not available and sidewalks are not present or wide enough to accommodate both carts and wheelchair access, place carts in the street with wheels as close as possible to the curb.
When possible, trucks with robotic arms will lift, empty and replace the carts without the drivers leaving the trucks, reducing safety hazards and traffic congestion.

Cart Placement at the Street


Weight Limit 65 Pounds
(Overweight containers will not be emptied)
  • Cans, bins, bundles and carts up to 32-gallon size are lifted and emptied by hand. For your safety and the safety of your collectors, please limit each 32-gallon unit to no more than 65 pounds.
  • Larger carts are lifted mechanically, and are limited to 200 pounds.

Garbage rates vary according to cart size. Recycling and yard waste collection can help reduce your garbage enough that you may be able to order a smaller size and lower your garbage bills.
