Garbage Recycling & Hazardous Waste

New Automated Garbage Collection Reminders

Here are a few reminders for the new automated garbage program:

  1. Bag your garbage and place the bags into your new garbage cart. The lid will be clearly marked "GARBAGE ONLY" and will have a green cover
  2. On your regularly scheduled garbage collection day, roll your cart to the curb. Your cart opening should face the street and the handle of the cart should face your home. Please have your new garbage cart out by 6:30 am on your collection day.
  3. Your garbage cart should be placed on the opposite side of the driveway from your recycling cart. Both carts should be located at least 5 feet from other obstructions to allow for the automated arm to operate properly.
  4. Please do not bungee or tie down the lid to either your garbage or recycling cart. In order for the garbage to empty from your cart after being lifted by the automatic arm, the lid must be free to swing open.
  5. If you wish to dispose of your old garbage container after you receive the new garbage cart, have your old garbage can at the curb during your regular scheduled garbage collection day with a note on it that states "Please Dispose".

Recycling Cart Swap - ONLY FOR RESIDENTS WHO REQUESTED A LARGER CONTAINER BY SURVEY

If you opted in January to exchange your current recycling cart for a larger 95-gallon cart, your new recycling cart (with blue lid) will be delivered to your home either April 4 or April 5. Here are easy steps to swapping out your recycling cart:

  1. If you live North of 165, on April 4 place your current cart at the roadside by 6:30 am, and we'll pick it up for you. It does not have to be empty.
  2. If you live south of 165, on April 5 place your current cart at the roadside by 6:30 am, and we'll pick it up for you. It does not have to be empty.
  3. Simply collect your new cart from the curb once it is delivered to your home.
