Trash, Recycling & Yard Waste Schedule

Looking for your garbage, recycling, or yard waste collection schedule?

Residential solid waste collection service includes garbage, recycling, yard waste and bulk pick up, once a week.

The City maintains a fleet of 13 fully automated side-loading trucks and three bulk trucks, servicing almost 15,000 customers, four days a week.  The fully automated lifts on the City's sanitation fleet enable more homes to be serviced on each route, as the trucks pick up more containers at a constant pace.
