Trash Pickup Tips

Trash Pickup Tips

Place storm-related debris curbside in the following categories:

 

1.) Household Garbage: Bagged garbage, discarded food, paper, packaging. (Use City issued trash cart when possible).

 

2.) Construction Debris: building materials, drywall, lumber, carpet, furniture, etc.

 

3.) Unbagged Vegetative Debris: logs, leaves, tree branches, plants.

 

4.) Appliances: Doors must be sealed/secured.

 

Do not block roadways or place debris near trees, poles, or fire hydrants.

 

Sanitation contractors will start regularly scheduled Thursday collection routes TOMORROW with approximately 25% of their workforce. Crews will only empty the 95-gallon, city-issued trash carts. Storm debris collection won't begin until next week.
