    Garbage Service is Required


    Garbage rates vary according to cart size.
    Recycling can help reduce your garbage enough that you may be able to order a smaller size garbage cart and lower your garbage bills. A 35 gallon garbage cart plus a subscription to a 96 gallon recycling cart costs less than 96 gallon garbage service.

    local ordinance requires all residents to subscribe to garbage collection in order to maintain public health, prevent public litter, and preserve natural resources.
