Garbage

The City picks up garbage weekly. Learn about what we accept and our drop-off site for extra garbage.

Annual mailer delay

Due to paper shortages, annual mailers will be sent out mid-March. Please contact our office if you do not receive your guide by mid-April. Use our collection day lookup tool if you have questions before your guide arrives. After finding your collection day, you can also sign up to receive Recycling Reminder emails.
