Residential Garbage collection happens weekly. Bins must be under 50lbs, and must not have cardboard, or other recyclables included. Garbage is to be placed in a regulation garbage receptacle (3.5 cubic feet with a good fitting, water-tight cover that birds and animals cannot get into). Plastic bags can be placed inside a proper receptacle, but plastic bags are NOT to be used as garbage receptacles for pickup. Residential garbage does not include yard debris or other types of rubbish not considered household waste.
