IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR TRASH, RECYCLING AND YARD WASTE COLLECTION: 

• Set materials at the curb by 7 a.m. on your collection day. 
• Be sure your cart lids close all the way. Over-filling carts invites trash to go flying on windy days.
• Place carts within three feet of the curb, away from other objects and with wheels facing the residence.  
• Residents can recycle the same mix of paper, cardboard, and containers (plastic, aluminum and steel) that they currently recycle. Lids can be left on plastic bottles. Residents can also recycle food and beverage cartons. Flatten boxes & rinse containers. Plastic bags, glass and Styrofoam are not accepted. Please make sure materials are loose, clean and dry. Do not bag your recyclables. 
• You can place up to 10 bags or bundles of yard waste within three feet of the curb each week of the year.
