· Please do not bag recyclables before placing them in the recycling rollout cart
· Trimmings from shrubs and trees must be no longer than 5 feet in length and no larger than 4 inches in diameter
· Yard waste should be separated in piles small enough for one person to carry
· Call 311 to schedule bulky items for collection
· Place collection materials curbside by 6:30 am on the day of collection
· Place collection items within 2 feet of the curb. Please do not block the sidewalk
· Allow 3 feet between your garbage cart, recycling cart, yard waste, bulky items and obstacles such as vehicles, mailboxes, phone poles, etc.
