Large items, such as appliances, old furniture, etc., that do not fit in your cart can be taken with your regular trash pickup. If the item is really large (like a refrigerator) or you want to put out a lot of stuff and you want to double check to see if it will be picked up, please call us.

GRAFFITI REMOVAL: Does the building owner have to sign a permission form?

STREET TRASH BASKETS: Can I put my household garbage in the street baskets?

Help keep our sidewalks clean!  People should not put household garbage in the street baskets. Baskets are emptied Monday through Friday, and if two or three people put their household garbage in the baskets rather than in their own dumpsters, the baskets fill up very quickly and then overflow causing trash to litter our streets.
