 Change in Residential Vegetation and Bulk Trash Collection
Effective August 4, 2008, residents will be able to put unlimited amounts of bulk trash and trimmed vegetation at the curb for pickup.
Vegetation guidelines:
Branches and trees should be cut in 4-foot lengths not to exceed 4 inches in diameter, and placed at the curb. The vegetation will be picked up on the residential bulk trash pickup day in your neighborhood and, in accordance with City Code, cannot be generated by a commercial trimmer/landscaper.
Bulk Trash guidelines:
Residents will be able to put out unlimited amounts of bulk trash including items such as furniture and appliances. Construction and demolition debris such as fencing, kitchen cabinets, carpeting, and tile is limited to one cubic yard. An additional fee will be assessed for construction and demolition debris exceeding this amount.
Curbside placement guidelines:
In accordance with City Code, placement of bulk trash or vegetation should be placed at the curb after 6:00 p.m. the day before your scheduled pick up day. Placement of vegetation or bulk trash at the curb prior to these guidelines will result in collection by the City and a $50 service charge will be assessed on the property water bill.
