Garbage Must Be Covered Beginning April 1

a garbage cart, garbage bin and a net covering garbage bags placed at the curb.

Garbage put out at the curb for collection must be completely covered from April 1 through November 30. Acceptable methods of covering garbage include using nets or containers (metal or plastic) with a closed lid. City garbage cart lids must also be completely closed.

Waste is not permitted at the curb before 6 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. This helps to reduce the amount of litter on streets, parks and open spaces.
