Garbage Schedule:
As of July 1, 2010, Signature Waste will be the sole provider for trash services. Two rollout containers are provided to each resident -- one for trash and one for recyclables. Trash pickup is on Wednesdays and Recycle pickup is every other Thursday.
Here are some things to remember when putting your trash out for pick up.
There are three different types of trucks in town until 5:00 p.m. that pick up regular household trash, the recycling and the yard waste.
Yard Waste: includes brush, tree limbs no longer than 3 ft., and bagged leaves or grass clippings in clear bags. If using dark bag, leave them untied so contents can be verified. Please limit your piles of tree limbs to a size that is managable for one person to pick up.
Recycling: includes glass, newspaper, magazines, broken down cardboard boxes less than 3 ft., plastic and metal cans. No plastic pots, plastic bags, disposable diapers, Tupperware items, Styrofoam or pizza boxes please!
