Residential Collection Service
Residential service is considered to be any single family (one unit) dwelling.

Residential can/bag service is offered once weekly at the alley or curb, whichever is appropriate.  Each single-family unit is allowed to place out 4-32 gallon garbage cans (garbage cans cannot exceed 70 pounds in weight) or 4-32 gallon approved plastic bags. For more information, please refer to AMC 26.70. All excess to the stated limit will be picked up and, a $1.50 per unit fee will be charged to the account.

The charges for residential service is $16.35 a month and is billed quarterly.  You should have your refuse out by 7:00 a.m., on your scheduled day for collection.

Extra services
Customers can arrange for larger items to be picked up by calling Customer Service (343-6250) at least one day in advance to the scheduled pickup date.  An order will be sent with your collector that authorizes the additional charges to your account.  Some of the additional charges are:

$  6.00 for items such as one washer, dryer, stove,
             hotwater heater (white goods)
$12.00 each for a couch, mattress, box  springs.


Miscellaneous items will be charged at $6.00 per cubic yard.  Brush should be cut in 4-ft lengths and be bundled and tied.  These prices are only valid for items picked up on the scheduled day of collection.  If a truck is dispatched on an unscheduled day, the cost is more. 

Commercial Collection Service
Commercial service is anything other than a single family dwelling and can consist of anything from a business with can/bag service on once or more weekly pick up, any location with more than one unit (duplex or more) with can/bag or dumpster service or any business generating enough refuse to have dumpster service.
