Q: What kind of refuse can I put in the container?
A: Paper, cans and other typical household trash. Large items should be
flattened to save space. DO NOT OVERSTUFF THE CART. In the interest of
container cleanliness, we encourage you to use plastic bags for wet
garbage and to occasionally wash out your container with a garden hose.
Only material placed in the cart will be collected.
Q:
What items are unacceptable to put in the cart for
collection?
A: We do not accept large quantities of dirt, large rocks, oil, gas,
paint, etc, hot ashes, furniture and remodeling or demolition debris.
Q: What if I have items that are too large to fit into
the cart?
A: The City will provide to our customers a special collection for
oversize items once a year in the spring free of charge. You may also take these items
to the landfill.
Q: Where do I place my container if I have chosen
street-side collection?
A: If you have driveway access to the street, place it in the corner of
the drive next to the street. If you do not have driveway access to a
street place it in the boulevard.
Q: What if snow is piled up on the boulevard?
A: You may either place the cart in the street next to the gutter or
shovel a place on the boulevard for your container to set on the day of
collection.
Q:
What time do I place the cart out to the street for
collection?
A: You should have your cart placed street-side by 7:30 a.m.
Q:
Where do I place the cart if I have chosen alley
collection?
A: Place it next to the alley, but not in right of way.
Q:
What if the container gets full before collection
day?
A: You may purchase a $1.00 sticker to be placed on an occasional extra
bag of garbage for collection. If you find that this happens too often
you may need to request a larger cart or multiple carts for the extra
material.
Q:
I am doing some home
cleaning and all of the extra
material will not fit into the cart. What can I do?
A: The City will provide you with a dumpster or another special
collection for this extra material for an additional fee.
Q: What if the cart becomes damaged?
A: Carts that fall under normal use are repaired or replaced by the
City?
Q: What do I do with the cart if I decide to move?
A: Just leave your garbage cart at your current address. When you notify
utility billing of your move we will make sure you will receive the
container you requested.
Q:
On what day will my garbage be collected?
A: Consult the
attached map
to determine the day of the week your area of
the city will be collected. Garbage, compost and recyclables will all be
collected on the same day.
