Trash Material Preparation

All material must be curbside by 7 am on your regularly scheduled collection day. Trash and recyclables are collected on the same day

Trash Preparation

All trash MUST be bagged and cannot be loose inside the 35-gallon trash bin. Trash that can fit into the town provided 35-gallon cart, with the lid closed, WILL NOT require a trash sticker. 

Unacceptable Bags

  • Ripped bags will not be collected.
  • Bags weighing over 35 pounds will not be collected.
  • Bags put curbside after 7 am will not be collected.
  • Bags that do not easily remove from a barrel will not be collected.
  • Loose items will not be collected. 
  • Trash stickers that have been tampered with will be unacceptable.

Overflow Bags

Trash that does not fit in the cart can be put curbside in an "overflow bag" with a $1.50 trash sticker attached to the neck of the bag. 

Overflow Bag Preparation

  • Each 30- to 35-gallon size bag must have a $1.50 trash sticker attached to the top of each bag.
  • Bags must be 35 pounds maximum.
  • Trash stickers should be placed around the neck of the bag, clearly visible to the driver, with the ends stuck to each other.
  • Residents may put out as many tagged overflow bags as needed.
  • Bagged and tagged trash may be placed in trash barrels to protect it from wildlife. Bags must be easy to pull out of the barrel.  The trash barrel must not exceed a 35-gallon size.
  • Residents may use smaller size bags if they wish however to save money: white 13- to 17-gallon size kitchen bags should be placed in the larger 30- to 35-gallon size.

Unacceptable Overflow Bags

  • Ripped bags will not be collected.
  • Bags weighing over 35 pounds will not be collected.
  • Bags put curbside after 7 am will not be collected.
  • Bags that do not easily remove from a barrel will not be collected.
