Refuse Guidelines

Pickup is one day late when the holiday observed by Waste Management (WM) falls on a weekday. When the holiday falls on Sunday, collection schedule will remain the same.
The solid waste weekly pickup is limited to what will fit in the trash toter provided by WM.
Two bulky household items are collected one week per month as identified in yellow on the calendar. Bulky item collection is typically performed with a separate vehicle.
If you require an additional toter, collection of additional bulk items or bagged garbage, exchange in initial toter size, or repairs/replacement of a damaged toter, please contact WM directly at 1-800-866-4460 or www.wm.com to schedule service of check pricing for additional services.

Recycling Guidelines

Curbside recycling collection will occur every week on the same day as regular curbside refuse pickup. Do not put recycling in plastic bags. All recycling materials, including cardboard, must be placed inside the recycling toter for collection. Flatten boxes to reduce volume and avoid creating obstruction.
Please refer to recycling information on the reverse side.
