Please do not place your blue cart at the curb. Recycling collections will resume the week of July 3rd.

Trash, Recycling, Debris Collections
Residents may take green waste to the Standup Mulch Site at East Latimer Street and North 89th East Avenue beginning at Noon, Tuesday, June 20.
- Free for residential customers
- Take your photo ID and a copy of your most recent utility bill
- Open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily
If you do not want to take your debris to the Mulch Site, the city's Solid Waste and Recycling Department will collect storm debris in 4-foot bundles that you place at your curb.
Why 4-foot bundles? First and foremost, it is a requirement of the green waste site that the city offloads the storm debris. Another reason is that longer pieces could interfere with the arm of the grapple truck and damage the hydraulic line. Bundling it in 4-feet pieces allows our crews to safely, quickly, and efficiently remove the debris from your property and all properties in the community.
