  • Promotes public health be ensuring weekly trash removal from all properties
  • Supports the City's recycling goals by providing a controlled waste stream

On Collection Day

Place your barrels near the corner of your driveway, in the street, at curbside with the handles facing your home. The barrels must be placed at least three feet away from any obstruction such as a vehicle, fence, lamp post, power pole or mail box and one foot between other barrels.

Caution: Please keep children from playing near barrels at all times.

Sharps

"Sharps waste" means hypodermic needles, pen needles, intravenous needles, lancets, and other devices that are used to penetrate the skin for the delivery of medications derived from a household. State law prohibits disposing of sharps in the trash and sharps cannot go to the landfill. Residential Barrel Customers can subscribe to AVCO's Sharps Collection Program for safe and proper disposal at no additional charge.

The residential Solid Waste and Recycling Collection Service Fee will be placed on the County property tax bill. Extra services provided in between tax billing cycles will be billed directly to the property owner.
