Report Trash, Waste, or Recycling Bins Stored Improperly

City ordinance requires all residents to help keep our community clean by properly storing garbage and waste. Trash and recycling carts must be stored in your side or rear yard, no closer to the street than the front of your house. The lid or cover must be kept closed, so you cannot have your carts or bins be overflowing. 

Residents can place carts out for collection early as 8 p.m. the evening before their scheduled pickup. Carts must be removed from the curb by 11 p.m. the day of pickup.
