Collection updates: If unplanned collection delays occur, details will be posted on the garbage & recycling page.

Recycling is collected every other week on your regular collection day. Find your collection day and use the 2025 recycling calendar to find your collection week.

There is no additional cost for recycling collection; it is included in your standard garbage collection rate.

Sign up to receive reminders

Once you've found your collection day and week, you can sign up for every-other-week recycling reminders.
