Trash & Recyclables

For Current Trash and Recycling Program Details:

Trash will be picked up by the trash/recyclables contractor, Trash Tech, beginning at 6 am every Wednesday, so it is best to have your trash bin by the curb the night before. Please note trash and recycling are hauled in two separate trucks, so it may be picked up at different times.
Please utilize the provided Trash Tech trash bin to ensure effective collection. Personal bins can still be used, but it’s encouraged to use them for overflow only.
Trash cans should not weigh more than 50 lbs.
Collection is affected by the following holidays, when they fall on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, and Christmas
