Important to know

Here are a few tips to ensure your garbage is picked up:
  • Cans need to be out on the side of the street by 6 a.m. (The night before is suggested.)
  • Everything we pick up needs to be in the can. The lid must close.
  • Make sure cans are away from parked vehicles, mailboxes, trees, etc.
  • $10 charge to have driver come back for cans not out. Extra garbage pickups available.
  • Questions? Please call 801-852-6714.
