Garbage & Recycling

 Storm Debris & Disposal - Please allow extra time after severe weather. We appreciate your patience!

Storm Debris & Disposal 

Residents with extra debris — such as fallen branches, yard trimmings, or damaged
household items like fencing — can place materials curbside on their regularly scheduled collection day.

Please remember to separate yard waste (branches, leaves, grass) from bulk items
(furniture, fencing, large debris).

If you have more material than usual, you may also take items to any of the City’s
four Drop-Off Stations. Visit the Drop-Off Station page for hours and disposal guidelines.

Friendly reminder: Due to increased storm debris, collection delays may occur.
Please wait until 7 p.m. on your collection day before reporting a missed pickup.

If you have questions, call the 311 Contact Center at 817-392-1234.
