On Collection Day, residents must place their garbage cans out by 6 a.m. on their collection day. Ensure that your cans are collected quickly by following these tips:
- Cans must be placed at least three feet from any obstruction such as mailboxes, cars, poles, etc. Please leave at least one foot of space between the cans.
- Cans will be serviced on the same day, but not necessarily at the same time.
- The lids must be closed. No excess garbage will be collected without prior arrangements with your service provider.
- Neither can may exceed 100 pounds.
- Place cans on the asphalt portions of the street, next to the curb. Do not block the sidewalk. If you have alley pickup, put both cans in the alley.
- Place cans with the handle toward your home.
