Full Breakdown

Bulk collection alternates biweekly with recycling on your regular garbage day, following your Red or Blue zone calendar. Set out up to five cubic yards per cycle, roughly the size of a pickup bed or 15 bags of yard waste, at least three feet from the recycling cart and clear of vehicles. Larger volumes and contractor construction debris are not part of curbside service and must go to the city landfill, where landfill charges apply under the fee schedule. Dumping trash, brush, or refuse on public or private property, rather than using authorized collection, is prohibited under sec. 7.02.062.

Violations & Fines

Illegal dumping under sec. 7.02.062 is a health-and-sanitation offense punishable by a fine up to $2,000 under sec. 1.01.009, each day a separate offense. Oversized piles may be left uncollected.
