CURBSIDE HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE PICK UP
The Sanitation Department is responsible for collecting garbage and recycling within the city limits.
Garbage Collection: Garbage is collected on designated days once a week, Tuesday through Friday. The city provides 95-gallon trash containers to most residential locations.
