• Yard waste pickup and trash pickup service days.

  • Please don’t overstuff a single bin and once full take to the road for pick up. Make note in the different type of bins we have. Yard waste only in the green bins. No fencing, just what grows in the ground and knock off as much soil as possible. If it gets too heavy, they will not pick up. Trash goes in the black bin. Anything left out next to the bins will not be picked up by the City. If we have bulk items that don’t fit in the bins, we have to call the City for a bulk pick up and this does incur a cost, so we try to limit this or plan so that it can happen in one pick up.
