In May, residents will receive an invoice for the annual trash fee. The annual trash fee is due by July 1 and can be mailed or paid in the Tax Office. Penalties are added for late payments.

The annual fee for residents occupying a house or townhouse is $55.00. The annual fee for tenants of an apartment building that has multiple units that are served at a common collection point for garbage and trash is $35.00.

Trash/Garbage is picked up once per week. For a trash can to be emptied, a trash sticker must be a affixed to the can. Trash stickers can be purchased at the local Kroger. Recycling is picked up once per week, as are large items, yard waste and brush. Trash cans will be picked up from the rear of the house/building. DO NOT place cans at curb. Recycling, large items, yard waste and brush may be set out after 6:00pm the day prior to scheduled pick up. All trash, recycling, large items, yard waste and brush to be picked up MUST BE SET OUT BY 7:00am the day of pick up.

Trash (Household waste, food, non-recyclable items, etc.) must be placed in cans, no larger than 32 gallons, with tight-fitting lids. On those occasions when you have more trash than cans, nonfood items may be placed in a sturdy plastic bag with a trash sticker attached.

All cans AND BAGS to be emptied must have a clearly visible trash sticker attached. Trash is collected from the back or side of resdient lots (Note: Rumpke will not enter garages to pick up cans or recycling).

Recycling (mixed paper, newspaper, aluminum cans, metal cans, #1 and #2 plastics, glass, corrugated cardboard) is collected once per week (Monday for Zone 1, Thursday for Zone 2 and Friday for Zone 3). Items should be placed in recycling bins and set out after 6:00pm the day prior to pick up or by 7:00am the day of pick up. Recycling is collected from the back or side of resdient lots (Note: Rumpke will not enter garages to pick up cans or recycling). Cardboard boxes that will not fit in the bin must be broken down, bundled and placed next to or under recycling bin.

(Grass clippings, weeds, pliable cuttings, Spring cleanup waste, leaves or other yard waste too small to be stacked or bundled)

• Collected once per week
• Collected in clear plastic bag or 30-gallon lawn/leaf paper bag (While either bag is acceptable, paper is encouraged due to its environmental and labor-saving benefits)
• See Maintenance Dept. Section regarding Fall leaf collection

(Branches, brush and trimmings larger than 24” long)

• Collected once per week
• Stacked in bundles not to exceed 5 ft. in length or 50 lbs.
• Do not place in boxes or cans

(Items which cannot reasonably be broken down to fit into 32 gallon can or 30 gallon black trash bag, including large and/or bulky household items such as appliances, furniture, carpeting)
Collected once per week. Placed at the curb after 6:00 PM the day prior to pick up or by 7:00 AM the day of pick up.

NOTE: It is suggested that, whenever possible, residents have the company delivering a new appliance, furniture or carpeting, remove the old items or donate usable items to a charity that will remove them for you. This will save you the inconvenience of setting items out on pick up days.
