Trash Collection
Inclement Weather Notices
In case of inclement weather whereby trash collection is impractical, Waste Management will post notices of alterations or delays regarding collection on WFMZ Channel 69. Do not call the 800 number for Waste Management during inclement weather.
Bulk Items
We are contracted to request one bulk item per week. Bulk item examples would be love seat, flattened-bundled cardboard, armchair, mattress and box spring set, etc. Items that contain refrigerant (Freon) must have refrigerant removed by a certified technician prior to disposal. Please complete the Trash and Recycling Form and note in the comment box the item to be picked up please.
Please note-should you choose to place trash curbside in your own trash cans-we recommend a container no larger than 32-35 gallon. The can can weigh not more than 50 pounds during collection and is lifted by one person.
