Garbage / Recycling Collections

Garbage is typically collected once per week on a Monday - Friday schedule. Recycle is collected every-other week on your garbage day (you are assigned a-week or b-week). This schedule is adjusted during the week in which a holiday occurs. Please see the 2024 Public Works Garbage/Recycling Calendar for the latest updates. Garbage/Recycle containers must be set at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on collection day; and no earlier than 4:00 p.m. the day before collection day. All containers must be removed from the curb no later than 4:00 p.m. the day after collection.
