What do I do with my trash bags for trash pick-up days?
Residents are asked to place their trash at 7:00 AM close to the curb the morning of trash pick up. This prevents animals from tearing into the trash and causing unsightly and unsanitary conditions.
City Ordinance No. B-389, Section 4.3c states “On collection days only, residents will place filled bags on property owned, rented or under their control, at a point as near the curb line as practical.”
What days of the week are trash pick-up days?
Collection Days are split up on a Monday/Thursday Pick up Schedule and a Tuesday/Friday pick up schedule. The Sanitation Pickup Days map is attached below.
