Refuse Division

The operations of this division are supervised by the Street and Refuse Superintendent with three (3) full-time employees.

The refuse collection function includes weekly curbside pickup of residential trash; quarterly large trash pickup; collection of grass, lawn debris, and brush; and the special pickup of bulk trash items on a “paid-scheduled” basis. Recyclables are picked up by a contract hauler in conjunction with your normal trash pickup.
