Garbage

The City picks up garbage weekly. Learn about what we accept and our drop-off site for extra garbage.

Service delays

Our large item pickup crews and cart deliveries and repairs are behind schedule. Please leave your large items at the collection point (alley or curb) until they are picked up. If your cart is in need of repair or replacement, make sure it is visible from your curb or alley line and accessible for our cart service staff until your issue is addressed.
