Volume is limited to one dump truck load (approximately 5 cubic yards) per residence.

A Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day is scheduled for April 26. Call 945-5375 for additional information or to make an appointment.

Refrigerated appliances will be picked up only if they have a “Freon Free” certificate properly attached.

Tree limbs should be cut into lengths not longer than six feet and stacked neatly and separated to be chipped.

Place recyclable materials such as wood products, metals and appliances in separate piles to assist in recycling as much material as possible.

REMINDERS

Place items out by 7 a.m. of the first day of clean up in your area. Place items in the street in front of your residence. Remember that community piles are not allowed.

Keep all debris separate from regular household trash containers so it will not interrupt regular trash service.

City crews will not go onto private property to pick up items.

City crews can make only one trip through each neighborhood, so it’s important that all items are ready by the start date for your area.

Do not place your items against any buildings or fences.

Do not place items out that you do not want removed: wheelbarrow, trashcans, tubs and the like, as all items in the pick-up area will be removed.

Do not place items on grass or landscaped area as machinery may cause damage.

The city will not be responsible for damage in these cases. For questions, call Public Works at 384-6379.
