AVeolia Environmental Servicesll residents are provided with refuse and recycling services by the City's licensed waste hauler, Veolia Environmental Services. Single family and multifamily units of six or less are provided weekly, volume based curbside pick-up service for refuse, recycling and seasonal yard waste. Multifamily dwellings of more than six units are provided refuse and recycling services at common dumpster locations.

In a volume-based, or pay-as-you-go program, refuse service is funded by purchasing special bags or stickers. These items can be purchased at local grocery and convenience stores. See Title 8, Chapter 24 of the City Code  for information on current pricing. The collection schedule for curbside pickup can be found on the attached map.

Refuse Fee Services and Increase, Effective July 1, 2011
On May 3, 2010 the City Council awarded the refuse contract to Veolia Environmental Services. Proposals from three refuse companies were received, reviewed by staff and presented to Council. Veolia was chosen due to pricing and level of service. Refuse fees will increase on July 1 as they do every year. Please note fees increase only once a year in July. Refuse and recycling services will remain the same.

Refuse containers that are not Veolia toters must be no larger than 32 gallons and weigh no more than 50 lbs. As a reminder refuse and recycling containers should be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. Please consider that while refuse may be picked up the same time most weeks the pick-up time may vary.
