Leaves – Leaves will be picked up with a vacuum machine at the curb from March 2^nd to May 31^st and October 1^st to December 31^st. They should be loose leave, placed at the curb and piled as close to the curb area as possible. The leaf machine can only reach so far in from the roadway. Please don’t pile around a mailbox or telephone pole. It is too hard to pickup and they will only be left behind for you to move later. Don’t mix anything in with your leaves such as twigs and branches. Between January 1^st to March 1^st and June 1^st to September 30th, they are to be bagged in paper bags, not plastic. The landfill we utilize will not take them in plastic bags as they don’t degrade, therefore, we will not pick them up.

Brush, twigs, tree limbs - Should be piled at the curbline. If a contractor is hired to take a tree down it is their responsibility to take everything. We will not pick up trees, etc. cut down by a private contractor or from any lot clearing.

Grass clippings - Plastic bag your grass clippings and place them with your trash to be picked up. Do not mix in brush, twigs or tree limbs. It must be bagged in plastic bags for the garbage collectors to take.

Bulk (White Goods) pickup - Items should be called in to schedule for pick up. New fencing if installed by contractor needs to be removed by contractor. All wood fencing (except treated) can be put out on trash day which is Thursday. One bulk item per week can be placed with your trash. Electrical devices such as TV’s, refrigerators, washers, dryers, dish washers and grills shouldbe put out on Monday which will be picked up by our Public Works Department. Please call to schedule Monday pickup.
