Automated Trash and Recycling Collection

Each eligible single family household will receive one 65 gallon cart for trash and one 95 gallon cart for recycling.  Two, three, and four family properties will receive one set of carts for each living unit.  Owners of these eligible properties are responsible for proper placement and removal of carts on collection days.  Owners must ensure that carts remain on property when home is sold or tenant departure.  

All residents should review the street listing and new 2023 Collection Calendar

Holidays

Republic Services does not provide collection on the following holidays:

• Christmas Day
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Memorial Day
• New Years Day
• Thanksgiving Day

When a collection falls on a holiday, that day's collection and all remaining collections for the week, will be delayed one day. Fridays collection will take place on Saturday. (If the holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, there will be no interruption in service)

Weather Delay

How do I know if a collection has been delayed due to the weather? Check the home page of the town website, watch the cable access channel, or sign up for a connect city call.
