TRASH AND DEBRIS

Three large rolling bins are provided for your household garbage (“Herbie”), recyclables (“Rosie”) and yard waste (“Lenny”).. Residents are to wheel the containers to the curb for pickup on the designated pick-up day which is Friday of each week. Some tips from the department of waste management.

Please place waste management carts on the curb, the evening before your collection day, after 4pm.
Please allow three feet of space between each cart, and set them away from mailboxes or light poles, with the handle facing your home so the trucks equipped with automated arms have enough space around each cart to safely grab it.
Extra cardboard should be flattened, bundled and placed besides your recycling cart.
If you are using bags for yard waste, please only use paper bags and place those on the curb, too.
Please don’t place items on top of the cart lids, and don’t park your car in front of the carts.
Always be mindful of the large DWM trucks and show your appreciation is by preparing your waste correctly in the curb in front of your home.
For more info and tips check out the DWM website.
