Curbside REFUSE / RECYCLING Collection

Refuse... Green Waste... Mixed Recyclables... Bulky Items

Your neighborhood is serviced twice per week, either Monday/Thursday, Tuesday/Friday or Wednesday/Saturday. One day is designated for refuse pickup and the other for recycling pickup. Most island homes are using the wheeled carts provided by the City, but some areas where automated collection is not possible, are still serviced with a manual collection system using your own 35-gallon containers. If you are located in a manual collection area, both of your weekly collection days are for mixed waste, no sorting as yet. Recycling was expanded to the automated areas first, and plans for the manual areas will follow. All areas have monthly collection of bulky items, including multi-family, residential apartment buildings.
