Trash & Recycling
TRASH COLLECTION
A private contractor, Trash Away, removes trash on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Recyclables - rinsed empty glass, metal and plastic containers, cardboard, magazines and paper - should be placed in the lidded blue recycle bin without using plastic bags, and are collected on Fridays.
Non-recyclables and kitchen trash should be in trash bags and placed in a lidded plastic trash bin and are collected on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Time of collection is variable but usually in the morning.

TRASH POLICY
- Trash and recycling bins are to be placed outside no earlier than 6 pm the night before scheduled pickup days.
- All kitchen trash must be placed in plastic bags in a lidded trash bin. Non-kitchen trash and cardboard can be stacked next to the trash and recycling bins if it does not fit into the bins.
- Trash and recycling bins must be returned to your garage by the end of the collection day.

HOLIDAY SCHEDULE
If a major holiday (July 4, Christmas, New Year’s Day, or any holiday when disposal facilities may be closed) falls on a normal collection day, service is performed on the next service day. If a holiday falls on a Tuesday, that pick-up is missed with the next collection on the normal service day of Friday. In a similar fashion, if the holiday falls on a Friday, that pick-up is missed and the next collection is the normal service day of Tuesday. In some rare instances, we will be waiting two weeks for recycling.
