• HOUSEHOLD TRASH – There will be two (2) household trash collections each week. Homeowners may put household trash out on their first pick up of the week and on the Bulk/Yard Waste day at the end of the week. Your pick up days have not changed.

REMINDERS:

Trash must be placed curbside by 6 a.m. on all pick up days.

Fresh cut grass clippings WILL NOT be collected.
