Trash Pickup Timeframe

You have a trash day, not a trash time. Trash pickup will be anywhere between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on pickup days. Customers are asked to have their trash cans placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on their designated days, but no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before.

NOTE: Items placed at the curb for donation (i.e. Purple Heart, etc.) may be inadvertently picked up as trash if placed alongside trash/recycling.

Holidays

If your pick-up falls on a holiday, your garbage will be picked up on the next regularly scheduled day for your neighborhood. Garbage will not be picked up on the following holidays:
