Full Breakdown
Under Chapter 19, curbside customers receive collection of household waste, yard waste, bulky waste, and program recyclables once each week, and may not dispose of that waste except through the county's collection service agreement (they may still haul their own waste to a permitted site). White goods (appliances) are picked up within 3 days after a request to the contractor. Yard waste must be in waste cans or yard-waste containers under 45 gallons, with items no longer than 4 feet, 6 inches in diameter, or 50 pounds. Household, bulky, and yard waste must be set out separately, not commingled. Side-door service is available to certified handicapped persons and, for a surcharge, on request.

Failure to meet curbside customer requirements is a $25 administrative fine per occurrence (Section 19-9(f)); a 10% reduction applies if paid within 10 days.
