The City now recycles 100% of all yard waste. Separating yard waste from other bulk trash at the curb helps keep disposal costs down.  Also please separate out glass items such as mirrors, glass doors, windows, etc. for safe handling.  Pile trash in areas away from parked cars, fences, trees, overhead wires, or other obstacles that interfere with large loading equipment.  Bulk trash must come from your property -- no combining trash with neighbors or trash imported from other locations.
