Once weekly trash and recycling collection for non-rural customers. Yard waste is collected, up to 5 bags per week (up to 2 of which may be grass clippings) from non-rural customers. Yard waste collection availability may vary based on volume and our need to prioritize trash and recycling collection first.

Rural route customers may or may not be eligible for recycling collection depending upon the density of households in their service areas. We are planning on providing large recycling carts with bi-weekly recycling collection in the near future.
