Twice Per Week Garbage Pickup Begins the First Week of August

Starting the first week of August, garbage pickup will occur twice a week—indefinitely. This change help keep our city cleaner while extending the life of our new DPW trucks.

Residents will receive hang tags with more details soon, and we will also continue to keep you updated here on social media platforms and City Website. The new schedule will be also included in the 2026 sanitation calendar which will be sent out in the Fall.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to improve our city services!
