2024 Garbage Program Information

  • Garbage cart size exchanges will begin next week; please try the can you currently have to be sure you want a different size!  You will be allowed one change for 2024, and exchanges will only be permitted based on cart inventory.  
  • If you find you have additional garbage that does not fit in your cart after the first few pickups you should upsize your can. Extra garbage stickers will only be available up to three times per year, per household.  With once a week pickup you may find you have decided on too small of can and you will not be able to change again until 2025.
