Collection Time & Preparation
Garbage will be collected from business and commercial dumpsters as necessary. The Sanitation Department collects trash and garbage from private residences and apartments once a week as scheduled by the Sanitation Department. View the trash collection schedule map (PDF).
Purchasing Receptacles
Each residence and apartment complex is required to own and use a city approved 90-gallon solid waste receptacle for their garbage. Cans may be purchased through the City Collector's office at the prevailing price.
Payment must be paid in full at the City Collector’s office. The can becomes the property of the purchaser. There is a serial number on each can that everyone should record for their own information. The City is not responsible for stolen cans.
Curb Placement & Removal
All cans should be placed within 5 feet of the curb and should not be placed curbside before 6 p.m. on the day preceeding collection day. Cans must be removed from the curb no later than 6 p.m. the day of collection.
