Environmental Services manages the contracted collection. The monthly solid waste fee covers twice-a-week garbage collection for one cart per household, plus once-a-week recycling and out-of-cart trash collection. Carts must be in place by 4:00 AM on the scheduled service day; lids must be closed and carts kept at least 3 feet from other objects. Collection is skipped on major holidays (New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas) and shifts to the next scheduled day. Residents look up their specific garbage, recycling, and out-of-cart days by address on the brla.gov My Government Services portal or via 311.
Set-out and cart violations are enforced under Code Sec. 6:238 ($125/$250/$500 escalating). Missed pickups are reported through 311.
