Trash & Recycling
With temperatures rising and expected to remain high throughout the coming weeks, the Department of the Environment continues providing waste collection services to the public while following safety precautions for its employees working in the extreme heat.
Note: daily waste collection services may be delayed while workers navigate the high temperatures.
As a result, collections will begin one hour earlier between July 15 and September.
Change in Service Day
Due to expanded services, some pickup dates have been adjusted. We encourage you to use our handy lookup tool to verify if your home is serviced by the County. It will also show you your pickup days. It's a quick and easy process that only requires your address.
Time Change & Delays
Due to the high temperatures, collections will start at 5 am between July 15 - September. However, due to weather advisories, collections can also be pushed back.
Missed Pickup
If your trash or recycling collection was missed, please call 3-1-1 or visit the website to report the issue. We are dedicated to resolving it promptly.
Bulky Trash
You can now include up to 4 bulky trash items or tightly secured bags of more minor items next to your trash for pickup. Bulky trash doesn't include tires, scrap metal, or electronics. Learn more about what is allowed in bulky trash.
New Curbside Pickups
You can now make appointments with us to pick up tires, electronics, scrap metal, and certain appliances. Under "Get Help With," select "Trash & Public Cleanliness."
