Trash Pickup Guidelines

  • Trash can must be on the curb by 7:30 a.m. on your pickup day to be serviced.

  • Front of trash can must face the roadside to be serviced.

  • All trash must be bagged in a trash bag to ensure that all trash is deposited into the truck and does not end up outside the truck to prevent littering.
