  • Garbage & Recycling Collection

  • Garbage for those receiving collection through the Town hauler is collected once a week on the same day as your Recycling collection. Collections for leaves are also on the same day of the week (see schedules). Different materials are picked up by different trucks.

    To determine the day of the week you get collections, find your neighborhood on the map, or check your street on the list from the link to the left.

    The Town collects garbage and recycling from most single family homes, and two- through four- family homes. Most apartment buildings and condominiums make arrangements to have collection done by a private hauler. The Town does collect from Flax Mill Hollow, the Landing at Sybil Creek, and Wilcox Estates.

  • They didn’t pick up……

  • Before you call…see if there was a reason why.

  • Do you have the right week?

    Leaves are spring and fall, and only every other week in spring. See schedules.

    Do you have the right day?

    Was there a holiday where the transfer station was closed?

    Do you have the right time?

    You must put materials out before midnight the night before your collection day pick up. Collection should be done by 1:30 PM. Leaves are collected by different trucks.

    Your garbage can…Is there a sticker on it?

    The hauler should put on orange sticker on trash or green sticker on recycling if it was left behind for a reason.

    Is it too heavy?

    We don’t accept cans over 50 pounds or over 50 gallons in size.

    Your blue box…
