Recycling

The city now provides collection every other week of bulky items, white goods and e-waste the same day as recycling collection. To find out your pick-up day, enter your address above in the CARTology app.

Recycling, bulky items, white goods, and e-waste collection will occur on ALL holidays EXCEPT Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. For those two holidays, collection will occur on a one-day delay for the remainder of the week to include a Saturday pick up.
