Garbage

Monday & Thursday

Household Garbage Collection, and 1 Heavy Garbage Item.
Please have trash out at the curb by 7:00am.

  • Cans must be at curb before 7am on collection days and kept there until 7pm
  • Do not place containers too close to mailboxes, parked cars or other objects.
  • Allow ample surrounding space so the automated lifting mechanism can be attached around the container and lifted.
