Where should my trash be placed for collection?

Trash should be placed at the curb, not in the street in front of your residential property. Trash should not be placed on or in front of a vacant lot.


Do not place trash under utility lines, wires or trees. Move items at least three feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes, fences, trees, telephone poles, trees, etc. to avoid damage. Trash must be in reach of the mechanical arm of the truck. Place items within ten feet of the curb.


Place items so that they are not blocked by cars or other objects.


Do not place trash at the end of a cul-de-sac or dead end street.


Avoid placing debris over lawn sprinklers and water meters.
