To serve all residents efficiently, trash placed curbside may not exceed:

2.5 cubic yards per week

This is approximately equal to the bed of a full-size pickup truck, loaded level.

If your pile exceeds this limit, only 2.5 cubic yards will be collected. Oversized loads may be subject to additional charges.

To support our yard waste recycling program, please follow these steps:

• Keep yard waste separate from bulk trash and household debris.
• No plastic bags — they are not biodegradable.
• Use compostable paper yard bags from local hardware and garden stores.
• Consider home composting to reduce disposal and enrich your garden.

Size Limits:

• No tree logs over 8 inches in diameter
• Limbs no longer than 6 feet
• No stumps or root balls

The City does not pick up debris from commercial landscaping or tree service contractors. Only residentially generated yard waste is accepted.

Please DO NOT place these items in your weekly trash pile:

• Paint cans, oil/antifreeze containers, garden pots — place these in your regular garbage cart, not bulk trash.
• Loose debris: Must be contained to prevent littering.
• Items blocking sidewalks, roads, or drainage — improper placement may result in fines.

Large items such as furniture and appliances must follow these rules:

• Do not place bulk items at the curb more than 24 hours before pickup.
• Ensure items are not blocking sidewalks, streets, hydrants, or drainage areas.

Small electronics should not be placed with trash or household garbage. Instead, dispose of them at:

• Drop-off location: 555 S. Section Street (City Landfill)
• Accepted items: TVs, stereos, microwaves, radios, and similar electronics
• Please bring your City vehicle decal (available at Public Utilities or City Hall)
