FAQS

They didn’t pick up everything at the curb. Why?

There  may be several reasons for this. There are limits to how much trash you  place at the curb in a single day. Certain items, such as white goods  and yard waste, are only picked up one day a week. Contractor generated  waste is not picked up at all. Please click here to view the refuse  and recycling rules. If you think the collection company is in error,  please call the District at 883-4447.

The collection company didn’t come today. What do I do?

Was  your trash at the curb at 7am? If not, you may have missed your  collection. Trash and recyclable collection begins at 7am. Always have  your trash at the curb by this time as routes may change at any time.  The days your trash is picked up will not change. If you see that your  neighbors have also not been picked up, we suggest you call the  collection company directly for the fastest response. Dejana Industries  is the current contractor for the District. They can be reached at  944-3103.
