- Garbage for collection must be placed inside PLASTIC BAGS weighing no more than 40 pounds each. Weight limitations are established in the interest of employee safety and are strictly enforced.
- Keep the plastic bags filled with garbage in TRASH CANS or containers with SECURE LIDS until the evening before your pickup day. It is best to keep the trash containers in the garage to keep animals from getting in them.
- DO NOT PUT THE BAGS OUT BEFORE 7:00 PM THE EVENING BEFORE YOUR COLLECTION. Place the plastic bags filled with trash on your tree lawn near the curb after 7:00 pm the evening before your scheduled collection day, or before 7:00 am the day of your collection.
- Do NOT put the trash CANS on the tree lawn, as then the trash will NOT be collected.
- Plastic trash bags are available for purchase at the Treasury window on the entry level of City Hall, the Community Center or at area stores.

Put the items out on your tree lawn no earlier than 7:00 pm the evening before your regular collection day, but before 7:00 am on your regular collection day. However, in some cases, a fee may be charged when trash exceeds normal limits.
