Weekly garbage pickup is limited to the contents of your bin. If you have extra items that won’t fit, you can schedule a special pickup in advance for a fee by calling 311 or submitting a request online to the 311 Division. Alternatively, you can take the excess waste directly to the landfill.

Garbage, yard waste, and recycling will all be collected once a week on the same day.
