SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING

Solid Waste Collection

Dispose of your garbage and yard waste in the container provided by M&M Sanitation. Make sure the lid is closed, without packing your garbage too tightly. These containers are the property of Republic Services and are assigned to your street address. For collection, place the container as close as possible to the curb or roadside, NOT on the street. Make sure the container is at least 3 feet from mailboxes, parked cars, trees, light posts and the handle and lid hinge is facing your residence. Please ensure the lid is closed to prevent damage to the 96 gallon cart(s).
