Residential trash and recycling guidelines

Place both containers out on the same day four feet apart with the rear wheels in the curb area (if you live on a major arterial thoroughfare then you will place on sidewalk or at the property edge closest to the street).
Place your trash and recycle containers at the curbside by 6 a.m. on your scheduled day of collection. The containers must be returned to private property by 6 p.m.
Ensure that your containers are not too close to vehicles, mailboxes, fences, or other obstacles that may prevent your trash or recycling from being serviced.
Do not overfill the trash container or load with dirt, rocks, concrete, vehicle parts, etc. If these items are in your container, the container will not be serviced.
Do not have debris hanging from the side or sticking out above the container lids. If they are, the containers will not be serviced.
Close the container lids to prevent spillage and reduce odors.
Clean your containers on a regular basis.
Bag and tie all refuse before placing in your refuse container (including yard waste). Yard waste should not be placed in your recycle container.
