- Make sure the trash containers are easy to see and easy to access to those who empty your containers.
- Trash must be at the curb no later than 4 am on scheduled pickup days.
- Trash only includes household waste, not recyclables, yard waste, construction debris, furniture, or appliances – just trash.
