Businesses that generate small amounts of solid waste can receive recycling, organics and garbage service (not yard waste) through the city's residential curbside collection program, as long as the following conditions are met:

• Service location is along existing residential curbside collection routes.
• Carts are able to be placed at the curb (or alley for alley routes) on collection day. Collection trucks cannot enter private parking lots or driveways to provide service.
• Amount of waste generated can be collected in city-owned carts, not dumpsters. No material may be placed outside the cart.
• Business is currently billed for other city utilities (water and sewer).

The same rules and collection schedules apply to small businesses as to single-family residential. Recycling is collected every other week; organics and garbage are collected weekly.

Find your collection day

Participation in the program by any business can be terminated at any time by the city.
