Ordinances for Waste Disposal

Trash Violations

The City will issue tickets and fines for violations of the State Sanitary Code and the City Health Code. This includes violations of the trash ordinances. Fines range from $25 to $250 per offense and each day that a violation exists is considered a separate offense. Unpaid fines will be enforced by a means of a lien on real property. Violations of the City's trash laws include:

  1. Trash placed outside before 3 PM on the day preceding collection (on holiday weeks, fines will be issued if trash is placed out before 3 PM of the day preceding the actual collection day)
  2. Dumpsters or barrels overflowing
  3. Accumulation of garbage or litter on property
  4. Commercial trash placed curbside for residential collection
  5. Construction, demolition debris, etc. prohibited from curbside collection

YARD WASTE: Leaves, grass and other easily raked material will be picked up every other week on your regular trash day. Brush can be no longer than 3 inches in diameter and 4 feet long. All materials must be in brown paper leaf bags or open barrels. 

Pink Bags

The Pink Bag / Textile Recycling Program is a great way to get rid of items that can be reused. It is easy, and it saves taxpayers money too. Residents must schedule their pick-up online here https://simplerecycling.com/.

Pink bags are no longer required for the program. Bags, boxes, or any other type of storage can be placed at your front door preceding your scheduled pick-up day.

We work with Simple Recycling on this program. You can also visit their website, their FAQ page, or their Bag Request page.
