ALL garbage, recyclables and yard waste should go out the night before. The trucks start their routes early. Do not put material out prior to 1:00pm on the day before your scheduled trash collection day and only put out the material to be collected at the curb. Do I have to call to arrange for a large item to be removed; for example, a piece of furniture. No, all furniture or bulk items go out with the kitchen garbage and will be picked up one piece at a time per garbage day. Do not put two large pieces at once because only one will be taken at a time.

Yes, the yard waste limit is 10 bags or 10 bundles at a time, each may not exceed 50lbs. All bundles cannot be longer than 4ft in length and branches cannot be more than 4 inches in diameter.
