Why was my trash not taken?

For trash to be picked up, it must meet all City guidelines including:

  • It must have a tag on it
  • Trash should be placed at the curb no later than 7 am on day of pick up
  • Trash containers shall not exceed 32 gallon capacity and shall not exceed a maximum filled weight of 33 pounds. The maximum bag size is 33 gallon capacity with a maximum weight of 33 pounds. Additionally, if trash is overflowing in the container, it will not be picked up, e.g., the lid will not fit on the container
  • Loose trash
