Garbage Can

With so much of your waste diverted from the landfill through curbside recycling, composting and glass recycling, you might be wondering what actually goes into your garbage can.

The short answer is — things that don’t belong in the other bins! This includes tissues; napkins; disposable plates, cutlery, and to-go containers; meat, dairy, and non-compostable food items; diapers; cat litter or animal waste; food wrappers; furnace filters; Styrofoam; and more. Please note that dirt, sod, and rocks can go in your garbage can, but should be limited to 1/4 the container volume to avoid breaking it.

Rates are as follows (beginning July 2025):

90 gallon container – $36.52/month

60 gallon container – $30.75/month

40 gallon container – $24.09/month

 

Do you have extra heavy material? Dirt? Rocks? Sod?

Please dispose of heavy objects like dirt, rocks, sod, etc. in the garbage can. Only fill up 1/4 of the way. This will protect the container from breaking and ensure it can be dumped by the truck.
Got Dirt?

Please dispose of dirt and rocks in the green garbage bin. Remember, dirt and rocks should only fill up 1/4 of the can so as not to break it.
