Collection Guidelines
PREVENT FOOD WASTE – BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEEDWhen grocery shopping, be thoughtful. Make a list and buy only what you need to
minimize any food waste.
SHARE, SWAP OR SELL!Instead of buying items you will use infrequently, consider borrowing or renting. Borrow from a neighbor or join a local Nextdoor or Buynothing group.
Sell items you no longer want and find bargains at consignment shops, garage sales, thrift stores, online exchanges and auctions like eBay and Craigslist.
CHOOSE TO REUSEUse reusable mugs, water bottles, utensils and bags. Store an extra in your car or at your desk so you will always be prepared.
Your AddressYour Address
THINK OUTSIDE THE BINReduce and reuse before you recycle.
Place carts at curb by 7 a.m.• Two (2) feet apart with lids opening toward the street.
• At least three (3) feet from cars, trees, mailboxes,
fences and utility boxes, as close to the curb as possible.
• Please remove carts as soon as possible after
collection.
Be bear smart. • Don’t put carts out the night before.
• Double bag garbage and do not overfill the cart so lid
doesn’t close.
• Rinse all recyclables to minimize food scent and
residue.
• Freeze food scraps and/or put them out the morning
of collection rather than during the interval between
collection days.
