  • Bulk must be out no later than 7:00 a.m. on the collection day, and no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before collection.

  • Bulk garbage should be placed near, but no closer than 3 feet from other objects such as mailboxes and you automated container. 

  • Bulk garbage must not exceed 6’ x 6’ and be heavier than 50 lbs.
