Garbage Collection

Tote safety: If you need to reach into your tote for any reason, please ensure that the tote will not roll away from you and that the lid is opened fully.

Garbage totes must be placed curbside and unlocked by 7:45 a.m. on your collection day. At all other times, totes must be locked (both locks), and preferably kept behind closed doors in your garage, basement or storage area to prevent wildlife from accessing the contents. 

Residents have a choice of garbage tote size. Annual Solid Waste Utility charges vary based on the size chosen. The annual Solid Waste Utility charges include garbage, recycling and organics collection.

The single solid waste fee, as determined by the size of garbage tote you select, also covers the cost of collection and processing of recycling and organics. There is no additional charge for recycling and organics totes. For more information about how to choose the right size for you, see our Solid Waste Frequently Asked Questions. To learn more and to request a tote size exchange, please click here.
