Trash Service
Please ensure all garbage is either bagged in containers or placed in bags curbside the night before collection. Please note, any items within 3 feet of the bags or containers will also be collected as trash. By doing so, you are helping to keep your property clean and our employees safe.
If you happen to have extra trash on any given week, we do allow for up to 4 kitchen-size bags or 2 contractor-size bags outside of your Evergreen bin. This counts as your free weekly bulk item.
To prevent any misses in your weekly pickup, it is best practice to have your trash and recycling bins out curbside the night before your service day.
Recycling
Recycling is collected once a week on the same day as your garbage collection.
All recycling items must be placed loosely in your recycling container. The recycling center does not accept recyclables in plastic bags.

We offer three different container sizes. These sizes apply to both trash and recycling receptacles.
- 96-Gallon: Holds about 6-7 garbage bags
- 64-Gallon: Holds about 4-5 garbage bags
- 35-Gallon: Holds about 2-3 garbage bags
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
