Code Violations:

Residents shall NOT place dirt, rock, concrete, bricks, blocks, asphalt, roofing materials, construction / remodeling debris, lumber, railroad ties, paint, motor oil, or any other hazardous waste materials in the bins. You must properly dispose of these materials yourself.  Disposal options include renting a city roll-off container, taking materials to  the public dump, or taking the materials to the Household Chemical Collection Center.

It's a city code violation for residents to place brush or bulky items at curb or in alley more than 10 days prior to the scheduled collection week.

Important: If you hire a landscaper or contractor,  they must haul away all debris and materials. They are not allowed to place items in the alleyway, street or refuse container.

 

Proper Placement for Collection

If you have street collection, acceptable items must be placed in the street along your own property line. Place items to be collected where they can be easily seen, but are not blocked by vehicles, near fire hydrants or on the sidewalk.

If you have alley collection, acceptable items must be placed on your side of the alley, and neatly stacked along your property line. Don't block the alley or it won't be possible to pick up your trash or your refuse container. All materials must be stacked as neatly as possible, parallel to your alley, and at least 2 feet away from any solid waste container,  gas meter, telephone or cable TV box, or any other utility junction box. Trying to collect improperly placed green waste/bulky items could damage these structures, disrupt your service, and require costly repairs.

Collection crews will not collect items if they are improperly placed or unsafe to collect.
