The City has three automated trucks that operate Tuesday through Friday to collect solid waste. Each household within the City is provided with a 96 gallon trash container that is emptied each week by automated garbage trucks. Residential solid waste collection is provided through property taxes and there is no charge for a single container. If households require an additional container, it is available at a cost of $52.76 per six months.
Trash should be bagged and placed in containers. Containers should be placed curbside by 6 am the day of pickup, and containers should be removed by 6 pm that same day.
Please Note:
Make sure your garbage cart is turned with the opening facing the street. Please allow 3 feet of clearance on either side of cart for automated arms to pick up and empty cart.
