To help the City provide safe, efficient service, please follow these rules:

  • Place your carts roadside by 7 a.m. on your pickup day, but no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening
    prior to your scheduled collection.
  • Place your bulk trash pile roadside by 7 a.m. on your pickup day, but no earlier than 24 hours prior
    to your scheduled collection.
  • The lids on all carts must be able to close completely.
  • When placing carts roadside, make sure the handles face your property and the lid openings face
    the street.
  • On the same day, after service, all carts must be removed from the roadside and secured behind
    the front face of the property or screened from view.
  • Place carts and trash piles at least 2 feet apart and away from parked cars, fences, mailboxes,
    trees, overhead wires, storm drains, utility poles, or other large objects so that collection vehicles
    may safely access them.
  • Never place carts in a bike lane.
