Service Company: Trash Away (as of December 17, 2024)
Below are the collection schedule, times your bins should be out or stored, reasons to label your bins, what is recyclable curbside, and links to Trash Away.
Collection Schedule:
Collection may occur any time between 6 AM and 6 PM on the days noted below.
- Trash: Tuesdays and Fridays
- Recycling: Tuesdays
Bins Out for Collection Timing:
Residents shall have bins outside no earlier than 6 PM the evening prior to collection day and no later than 6 AM on collection day. All trash must be bagged and placed in its respective container.
Storing Bins Between Collections:
Once trash/recycling have been picked up, your bins should be returned to your respective garage. They must be stored in your garage at all times except for between 6 PM the evening before and the day of collection.
Label your bins with your address:
Crews occasionally swap bins. Labeling your bins with your address facilitates their return to you. Use labels that are durable but can be removed such as mailbox numbers.
Recycling Do's and Don't's:
In your curbside bin, you can recycle: plastic bottles (lids on), metal cans, cartons, mixed paper and cardboard.
