Garbage

Use your black cart or metal waste bin for household garbage such as non-recyclable waste including Styrofoam, diapers and wipes.

Recycling

Loose, clean recyclable materials are collected city-wide through the curbside blue cart recycling service and the multi-unit residential recycling service. The same materials are accepted at the City's Recycle Depots.

Yard & Food Waste

We have composting programs for green waste including seasonal items, like leaves, grass and Christmas trees; and now food waste.  Residents can subscribe for Green Cart home collection or visit one of two compost depots.
