Trash Collection
Trash
Trash is considered all household refuse other than recyclables, bundled brush or unacceptable waste.
Containers
Residents provide their own containers for trash. All trash must be in plastic bags or garbage cans/carts weighing no more than 35 pounds when full. Households are limited to 10 bags or four cans/carts per collection. Green carts provided by the City are for recycling only.
Collection Schedule
Trash is collected twice a week beginning at 7 a.m.
If your trash collection day falls on an observed holiday, collection will resume on the next regularly scheduled day. Observed holidays include New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. To view both your regular curbside pickup and holiday pickup schedules, enter your address on Republic's local information and schedule page.
