Trash and Recycling

Trash Information

Trash pick-up and recycling is handled through private waste haulers. Residents are responsible for contacting their own waste hauler and making the necessary arrangements for the collection of trash and recyclables.

And of course for a future healthy planet earth, always remember to recycle whatever you can!
