Bulky Trash Collection - NEW!

If you receive County trash and recycling services, residents can now put out up to two items of regular bulky trash, with your regular trash collection - no appointment needed! Scrap tires and white goods including refrigerators, air conditioners, washers, dryers, and other appliances, will still need to be scheduled for pickup through PGC311. See all the details here.

Curbside Composting  - NEW!

Eligible residents who have received a PGC Composts green cart can dispose of their food scraps, yard trim and more every Monday! Learn more about the curbside collection of food scraps and how you can help keep your environment clean and green.
