Trash Pickup Schedule

CURBSIDE TRASH COLLECTION

Collection Program Guidelines

Trash and Recycling must be at curbside by 7:00am on your designated collection day

Please separate your recyclable materials from your trash by 3 feet if possible so it can be easily identified by the collector

All trash must be contained in the cart issued by the contractor to be collected. No material (except properly prepared recyclables) left outside the cart will be collected. Bag all trash to prevent litter

Trash carts must be placed at the edge of the roadway with wheels facing away from the street. Do not place your cart within 3 feet of any obstruction... trees, mailboxes, etc.

No construction materials from renovation projects will be collected • Recyclable materials are collected every week on your regular collection day.

Safe Use and Care of Cart

Always keep the lid closed to keep rain, snow, and animals out

Do not place any unacceptable materials in the cart suchas recyclables, paint, solvents, hot ashes, sand, rocks etc.

Use the handle provided to move the cart. Tilt cart on wheels and roll. Remember to pull the cart uphill and push the cart downhill

Remove your cart as soon as possible after collection to maintain appearance of the neighborhood

To clean, simply rinse with water from time to time and let dry in the sunlight with the lid open

The cart is a durable plastic cart that when used properly will provide years of maintenance free use. Should a problem occur (broken wheel, lid etc.) please contact Waste Management at 800-972-4545 to request a repair.
