A Message from Republic Services regarding trash pick-up 

Republic Services would like to remind you about the schedule for collection services following the Memorial Day holiday.

Collection services provided by Republic Services will be delayed next week. We will be one day behind the regular schedule.

We ask that residents please ensure that their materials are placed out for collection either the night before or by 6 am (depending on local ordinances) to ensure that all items are collected.

In addition, we are also reminding residents to please ensure they BAG all trash before placing it into trash carts or containers.  This action will reduce any residual debris from blowing out of the truck during collection.


Happy Spring!

  • Republic Services would like to remind you of the upcoming Yard Waste Collection Schedule.

  • We ask that residents please ensure that your materials are placed out for collection either the night before or by 6 am (depending on local ordinances) to ensure that all items are collected.
