Missed Collection?
Your preparation of material for collection is critical for us to recover resources, ensure safe collection, and leave the area neat and clean. If your material is not collected by the end of the day, check for a tag that explains why the City could not collect.
COMMON PROBLEMS INCLUDE
- Collection container, bag, or item is too heavy
- Items such as carpet or lumber longer than 4 feet
- Contains unacceptable items such as construction debris, dirt, brick, and stones (residents should call a private hauler to dispose of these items)
- Dangerous or messy liquids such as gasoline and undried paint
- Trash mixed with recycling
