Household Waste (Trash)

Household waste collected by the City, consists of any non-recyclable articles from households, such as garbage, trash, discarded clothing, toys, sweepings, rags, etc. Household waste items must be properly placed inside the designated 96-gallon city-issued rollout carts, in compliance with the following regulations:

  • Household rollout carts must be placed at the curbside by 6 a.m. on your collection day.
  • For each collection day, all household waste must be placed inside the maximum of two (2) green or brown city-issued 96-gallon rollout carts, one (1) foot from the curbside.
  • Household rollout carts must be placed side-by-side, 4 feet from other rollout carts, mailboxes, fixed objects and away from trees, power lines, parked vehicles, equipment and all other obstructions.
  • Rollout cart handles must face the residence and lids should not be open more than 6-8 inches when filled.
  • All household waste shall be separated from all other waste prior to collection.
  • It is requested that all bags placed inside the household waste rollout cart be tied, to avoid spills.

  • wood
  • metal
  • glass (windows, fish tanks, etc.)
  • bulky items (furniture, appliances, etc.)
