A few helpful hints concerning garbage collection:
* Lids on the cart must be closed or your cart may be red tagged due to excess waste.
* Carts should be placed roadside no earlier than 24 hours prior to your scheduled pick-up.
* Paper should either be bagged or bundled to prevent blowing when placed curbside.
Residents can upgrade to larger carts for a minimal fee: A 65 gallon cart is billed at $2.00 per month and a 95 gallon cart will cost an additional $3.00 per month. Veolia will direct bill individual residents for this upgrade.
