-
Bulk items such as major appliances and furniture, will be collected weekly on the first pick up day of the week for your regular household garbage collection. Note: You will no longer have to call to arrange for these items to be picked up.

Any time an item is not picked up it will be tagged with a written explanation as to why and what needs to be done so that it can be removed. Waste Management has added equipment and personnel in order to make these new service features available.

Where and how do I place my garbage for collection?

Just make sure the lids and ties are secured to help keep dogs and other "critters" away, and the area clean.
