1. How and what will I be billed?

Your solid waste service will be coded as "SA" on your monthly city utility bill, with a fee of $16 per month. There is also a $8 public service fee charged under this same code. Should you generate more household garbage and trash than your 96 gallon cart will hold, you may order a second cart for an additional $4 per month.

2. How should I prepare my garbage and trash for collection?

All garbage and trash must be containerized in tightly-tied plastic bag before it is placed in the city-issued cart. Cardboard boxes should be flattened and placed beside your cart.

3. Where and when should I place my cart for collection service?

Roll your cart to the curb, between the sidewalk and street by 6:30 a.m. City Ordinance mandates that carts may be placed at curbside only from 9 a.m. prior to day of pickup through 9 a.m. the day after pickup.

4. How should I prepare yard waste?

Grass, leaves, clippings, pine straw, and all small yard waste matter should be containerized in plastic trash bags and placed 5-feet from your cart. Limbs should be cut not to exceed 6-feet in length and eighth inches in diameter, and stacked neatly on the curb.
