TRASH COLLECTION
The City does not have an exclusive franchise with any waste hauler. Any waste hauler operating within the City must enter into an agreement and sign a contract with the City. The Public Works Department is responsible for waste hauler contract administration. Click here for the Permitted Waste Hauler 2010 Contact List.
The City has a mandatory green waste collection and recycling program for all single-family residences. Green waste makes up a significant percentage of the residential waste stream and the program plays an important role in diverting waste from our landfills. Residents must provide their own containers. Waste haulers supply "Green Waste Only" stickers to label containers or they can be picked up at City Hall. Green waste in plastic bags cannot be recycled since the plastic contaminates it.
No waste containers shall be placed out for collection before 5 p.m. of the day before the scheduled collection. Containers must be brought in by 8 p.m. on the day of collection, or two hours after collection, whichever is later.
