Residents are reminded that garbage put out at the curb for collection must be completely covered from April 1 through November 30. Acceptable covers include metal or plastic containers with a lid or a net.

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