Included Collection Services

The services listed below are included in your monthly service charge. Residents will not be charged for the following services.

For more information, call your service provider’s Customer Service Center.

Extra Service Stickers:

Residents receive twelve (12) Extra Service stickers per year to use for FREE pick up of extra garbage, recycling or green waste when needed. These can be used anytime you have an occasion that generates extra waste. Once the twelve Extra Service stickers have been used, additional service is still available, however, at a nominal cost.

To ensure streets are properly swept, residents are encouraged to remove vehicles and any other obstacles from the streets on sweeping days.
