Bulk waste must be placed away from regular trash/recycling containers and be set out for collection no sooner than the Saturday prior to the scheduled pickup. All acceptable items placed at the curb will be taken, including containers.
The following materials are prohibited: hazardous waste; any liquid waste, including oil-based paint; propane tanks; grass clippings, logs and stumps; and sheetrock, concrete/cement, bricks, porcelain tubs, sinks or toilets and other demolition material.
