Trash Collection

Trash services are provided once a week on Friday.

To help protect our employees, we strongly encourage that ALL HOUSEHOLD TRASH BE PLACED IN BAGS inside the CWD-provided grey 95-gallon trash cart.

Place all trash items out no later than 7:00 am for pickup between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm on your service day. Please ensure the trash receptacles and the recycle cart are separated by at least three (3) feet, and three (3) feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes, fences, gas meters, and drainage ditches. Position the trash cart with the wheels toward the residence.

Recycling Services

Recyclables will be picked up once a week on Friday.

All recyclables must be placed loosely inside the blue 95-gallon recycle cart. Do not bag recyclables.

Place all recyclable items out no later than 7:00 am for pickup between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm on your service day. Please ensure the recycle cart and the trash cart are separated by at least three (3) feet, and three (3) feet away from obstacles such as mailboxes, fences, gas meters, and drainage ditches. Please ensure there is a 16-foot clearance above your cart. Overloaded carts will not be serviced.

Position the recycle cart with the wheels toward the residence.

ASL Guidelines

Recycling is serviced by Automated Side Load (ASL) trucks. ASL trucks must have adequate space in the street or alleyway for the truck to line up to a cart and allow for the truck’s arm and claw to extend to retrieve the cart. In order to protect your property, the driver will not service your cart(s) if vehicles or other obstacles are positioned too close to the cart(s).  Important: please allow a 16′ vertical clearance to ensure there is no damage to property and carts can be serviced.
