Solid Waste Management
TRASH COLLECTION
The Household Hazardous Waste tunnel at the Central Transfer Station is open Monday–Saturday, 7:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.
Haulers will prioritize garbage and recycling collection. Regular yard waste collection on Wednesdays make take several weeks to catch up on. Once yard waste resumes on Wednesdays, regular haulers will be collecting binned, bagged, or bundled yard waste - NOT debris piles.
DEBRIS UPDATES
Please prepare your curbside debris. Large amounts of debris do not need to be binned, bagged, or bundled like normal yard waste. Pile it at the curbside.
CURBSIDE GUIDELINES:
- Please separate vegetative disaster debris (branches, tree trunks, limbs, etc.) and construction and demolition disaster debris (building materials, large items) into two distinct piles at the curb. These should be items that were lost as a result of the hurricane.
- Ensure that the piles are kept off streets, sidewalks, and storm drains, and are positioned away from fire hydrants, mailboxes, or other structures.
- If possible, cut branches and logs into 4-foot sections.
- Try and combine your pile with your neighbors to create larger piles and expedite collection.
- Avoid using plastic bags for vegetative debris. Pile your debris. You may also place in bins, paper bags, or bundles.
SCHEDULE:
- Please be patient - contracted debris haulers (trucks with grapples/claws to pick up piles) are collecting as much as possible during working hours.
If you prefer, you may bring it to the Landfill (1930 E Osceola Rd, Geneva).
