High Wind Advisory
The Environmental Services Division encourages people not to put out their recycling carts during high-wind events or anticipated events. The carts can get blown down, allowing the loose recycling inside to be blown away. We ask people to wait until the next scheduled recycling pick-up.
Help Us Keep Collection Safe and Efficient
To ensure smooth and safe trash and recycling collection for everyone in our community, please follow these simple guidelines:
Set your carts out by 7 AM on collection day.
Be sure to bring them back in within 24 hours.
Cart Placement Tips
- Keep lids fully closed. Do not overfill your carts.
- Place carts at least 3 feet apart and away from cars, mailboxes, tree branches, or anything else that might block access.
- Position carts with wheels and handles facing the curb so collection trucks can easily lift them.
Trash and Recycling Guidelines
- All trash should be placed in plastic bags.
- Recycling should be loose in the cart, not in bags.
- Do not place hot ashes, coals, sharps (needles, lancets, razor blades), medications, or household hazardous waste in your carts.

A cart replacement fee of $60.00 will be charged to customers due to negligence other than normal wear and tear and for requests for replacement due to customer preference. We do not charge customers for damage caused by collection vehicles or workers.
Carts should only be used for household trash and recycling. Carts are most often damaged by customers when hot ashes, chemicals, or even fireworks are placed in the cart. These things can cause the combustion of trash or recyclables that damage or melt the plastic resin. Carts can also be damaged when loaded with remodeling or landscaping materials such as rock and brick. Make sure the ashes are dead out and cold.
Missed Refuse (Trash) or Recycling Pick up: call 505-955-2200 or email us with your address and contact information.
