Collection Schedules for Garbage, Recycling, and Yard Waste

Garbage is collected weekly.
Recycling and yard waste are picked up every other week.
Change Effective July 5: Recycling and yard waste pickup will alternate weeks. Example: Tuesday is my collection day. One Tuesday is garbage and recycling day; the next Tuesday is garbage and yard waste day. This is to limit the number of carts at the curb to no more than two at a time.
