of waste we throw away. They conserve natural resources, landfill space and
energy.

Give your household item a second chance at life!
We ask each citizen to take waste reduction measures, if possible. Many
household items can be given a second life through donation to a non-profit,
church, neighborhood group, school, thrift store, etc. Appliances can be
recycled for metal.
• Yard Waste collections and Green Bulk waste will be collected on regularly scheduled day
Backyard Composting
Spring and summer are a great time to compost your food waste and yard waste.
Together they make a great partnership in creating mulch and compost.
• Household garbage will be collected on regularly scheduled day
