COLLECTION
Single and two
family residential solid waste is collected weekly by the Sanitation
Division of the Public Works Department. Major changes in collection
districts are not planned and your day for collection will not
change unless notified in writing by the Public Works Department.
The collection points for most residences will be adjacent to the
street or alley. Persons that are physically unable to bring their
wastes to the collection points may apply for “Carryout” service
through the Public Works Office.
Solid Waste must
be at the collection points by 8:00 AM on the day of collection.
This time is normally set at 7:00 AM during the summer months.
Solid Waste may be set out as early as the night prior to the
day of collection. All containers and or racks must be removed from the boulevards and or public
right of ways after the day of collection.
Containers
for garbage shall be between 10 and 34 gallons in size, and be water
tight and metal or plastic material. Containers for rubbish shall
not be larger than 34 gallons (4.5 cubic feet) and shall have
sufficient strength to permit handling without rupture or tearing.
Wood,
branches, brush, and tree limbs must
be cut in three-foot lengths, be bundled for handling and set
adjacent to the street or alley. Only limbs less than 8 inches in
diameter will be collected by the City.
Rubble,
building materials, carpet, shingles, lumber, tree trimmings and
other materials or debris generated by a contractor on the premises
are the responsibility of the owner, or the contractor to dispose of
properly. This may require the service of a private hauler.
Any
questions or problems call the Public Works Department at 626-7010.
