Starting Summer of 2026
Waste Cart Rollout
On July 6, 2026, curbside waste pick up changed to wheeled carts for garbage, recycling, and organics collection. Garbage collection has moved to bi-weekly pickup, and bag tags have been eliminated.
Collection days have also changed with the move to a more streamlined system. Below you will find more information about what these changes mean for you.
