Residential Trash

Service Guidelines

The Solid Waste Division provides weekly residential collection service to more than 124,000 households. To help us keep costs down, please follow these guidelines when placing containers out for collection.

• Do not throw batteries, fluorescent lamps and other hazardous waste into your trash container.
• Place containers at curb by 6:00 AM.
• Allow three feet between containers.
• Place containers six feet from cars, utility poles, mailboxes, boats, and other obstructions.
• Place containers on the street, not on the sidewalk.
  Please note, residents in time restricted parking areas (downtown and Oak Park) should place containers on the curb or in the area between the curb and sidewalk.

Please contact Customer Service at 808-5454, if you have any questions or to find out your collection schedule.
