Garbage, Recycling and Green-Waste Bin Etiquette

Help keep your neighborhood streets clean and tidy by following the City’s refuse and sanitation code to properly sort, stow, and dispose of all material in your refuse bins. By properly sorting your garbage, recycling, and organic material in the appropriate bins, you are helping to reduce the amount of waste going into our landfill.
