Helpful Service reminders:

  • Please have cans out early for service – routes begin at 7:00am.
  • Please bag all garbage. This helps keep our yards and streets clear of blown trash.
  • Do not overload carts; be sure the lid closes completely to help ensure the truck can properly service the container.
