Place your garbage and recycling bins out the night before or before 6 a.m. the morning of collection.
Some of the items not allowed in your garbage bin are: construction materials, hazardous waste, medical waste, electronics, tires, batteries, paint, appliances, and yard waste.

Plastics #1-7, aluminum cans, tin cans, paper items, and cardboard boxes. We ask that your recyclables are rinsed of food and water.

Please do NOT bag your recycling, please just put it inside your bin loose (and cleaned!)

Please contact our office to make arrangements (fees may apply for non-standard pickup).

Services will resume as soon as secondary and rural road conditions allow.

We will be closed for Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day. Please call for more information on trash and recycling pickup.
