When you call, be ready to provide:

  • Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • The types and amounts of waste you have for collection.

A collection date will be scheduled. The program operates on Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please note that there may be a backlog of pickups.

  • Wastes should be sealed and placed upright in boxes. Regular collection limits still apply.
  • Do not put hazardous waste on the curb.

Home Collection staff does not collect other special wastes such as latex paint, tires, electronics, or medications.
