GARBAGE SERVICE
Garbage day is Wednesday. Please place your garbage cans on the curb in front of your home the night before. It is a good idea to mark your house number on the side of your can(s). Garbage will be a day late if the following holidays fall on the working days prior to your garbage day. When in doubt please put the garbage out.

New Year's Day
Memorial Day
4th of July

If you have chosen to provide your own garbage can please keep in mind that your can needs to be no larger than 32 gallons. Personal cans larger than this may not be picked up.
Extra Garbage charges can be frustrating for everyone. To help better understand when extra garbage charges are applied, staff has prepared the following examples:

|
Trash is piled in the can and the lid does not touch the rim. An extra garbage charge will be applied. Also, if the weight of the full can exceeds 60 lbs., an extra garbage charge will be applied. |
Garbage piled on top of the lid. An extra garbage charge will be applied. |
Garbage piled next to the can. An extra garbage charge will be applied. |
Please note that the pictures above are also demonstrated using a 45 gal. can and this too is considered extra garbage and may not be picked up.
