The City provides weekly residential solid waste and recycling (single stream) curbside collection to an estimated ten thousand (10,000) single-family and multi-family households! 

In addition to scheduled weekly services, other collections provided by the City include curbside collection for yard debris, appliances, bulky waste, and loose leaves.

Every other week, during routine collection, recyclable materials are collected in separate containers. Recyclables are collected in the single-stream format.

White goods or bulky items such as furniture and mattresses are collected as needed. Please place these items on the curb on your regular garbage collection day for pickup.
