Yard Waste
Yard waste collection is a variable issue as the amount and weight of these items varies dramatically from week to week – especially following storms. When trucks fill and cannot complete the routes on Wednesdays, completion of collections will be made that same week no later than Saturday; normal trash trucks will not collect these items.
Mattress Disposal
All mattresses and box springs must be wrapped with plastic before collection as bulk pickup. According to the company’s notice, the new requirement is to protect its employees from bed bugs.
