Garbage must be on curbs after sundown (before dark) the night before collection. Garbage containers should be covered since rain and snow will add to the weight of garbage, creating a senseless waste of tax money.

Pick-Up Schedule

Regular household garbage is picked up curbside throughout the community every Monday and Thursday.

Bulky Garbage (TV or other small appliance, couch, chair, table, box spring, mattress, tied rug, not a roomful of furniture) will be picked up on Thursday. If you have any questions about these items, please call first for information. Note: When moving, residents must not line the curb with items to be discarded.

Items Not Collected

Recyclables picked up by recycling contractor or Department of Public Works – including glass, tin, aluminum, paper, leaves, grass and yard waste – will not be collected by the garbage contractor.

REMEMBER: The garbage collectors have been instructed to leave any garbage container that has recyclable materials in it.

Items not picked up by the garbage contractor or the Department of Public Works include:

• Tires and car batteries
• Building materials (REMEMBER: When doing construction work on your home, you not only need a building permit, but you must recycle materials left from the job.)
• Metal may not be discarded with garbage.
• Hot water heaters will be picked up by D.P.W. when a permit is issued for a new one and it is inspected by the plumbing inspector.
• White goods—which are large appliances like stoves, refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers and air conditioners. You must call the Recycling Office for a pick-up of these items.

Disposing of Medical Syringes
