Trash and Recycle Collection Will Continue as Usual

Due to the ongoing pandemic, limitations have been put in place to help with the increased volume of trash. We collect trash both Monday and Thursday, so residents are encouraged to place trash out both service days prior to 7 a.m.

Please have your trash in a container not larger than 65 gallons in size. Please note that if you have more than one trashcan, please ensure the combined sizing does not exceed 65 gallons. If you have more than what can fit inside your personal trashcan, please place no more than 5 trash bags (not heavier than 40 lbs.) on the ground next to the trashcan. The BEST TRASH recycle container is not an extra trash container and will not be emptied as such.

As a reminder, all loose trash must be bagged but larger bulky items can be collected as is either service day. Please limit the larger bulky item to one per collection day.

The 5 extra bags can include household waste or yard waste. Guidelines for tree limbs are 4 inches in diameter, no longer than 4 feet and tied and bundled not heavier than 40 lbs. We are asking that you place no more than 5 tied bundles at the curb each collection day.

Due to extra volumes, trash is extremely heavy, and our crews are making every effort to finish the route before landfills close. Please be patient as we are doing our best to get trash collected.

Coronavirus Update – Please Bag Your Garbage

In response to the continuing effects of the Coronavirus and in observance of our employee’s safety, we are asking that all waste be placed in plastic bags and tied off to avoid any direct contact with the garbage.

Trash collection services will continue as normal, but we are experiencing an increase in the amount of residential solid waste as a result of residents spending more time at home. Please be patient as we are doing our best to get everyone collected.

Green waste collection will continue; however we anticipate delays in service. By taking the following steps, residents can help minimize these delays:

  • Mulch leaves and grass clippings instead of bagging them for disposal.
  • Limit the amount of pruning and tree trimming to only what is essential.
  • If utilizing a landscaping company, ensure all green waste is collected and hauled off by the contractor.

Please continue to place your recycling loose in your container. However, if anyone in your household is exhibiting symptoms of any transmissible illness, please place recyclables in plastic bags and dispose of with your regular garbage.
