During the week of May 2, 2016, the County joined the surrounding jurisdictions and several municipalities in making the switch to once-a-week trash collection.
The Resource Recovery Division provides trash collection service to approximately 158,000 homes in the county. Citizens and residents in the county-contracted collection areas should place their trash containers at the front curb by 6 a.m. on their regularly scheduled collection day.
Effective the week of September 27, some residents residing in Southern County may experience a change in their trash and recycling collection days. Find out more here.
Weekly curbside collection of yard waste will be collected year round. Yard waste includes grass clippings, leaves, small branches, brush and Christmas trees. Please note, that effective January 1, 2014, residential curbside yard waste collection is no longer accepted in plastic bags.
