COMPOST CAN PICKUPS ENDING 

• Effective Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 30-35 gallon resident-supplied compost cans will no longer be collected from curbside-serviced locations.

• Unwanted compost cans will be picked up by the city on normal curbside trash collection routes at no additional charge the week of July 7-11, 2008.

• Paper bags and bundled brush will continue to be accepted--in addition to compost carts--for holding acceptable compostable materials. See the compost program page for full details.

• What can you do with old trashcans?

• The city will pick up your old cans at no charge the week of July 7-11, 2008. Please leave unwanted 30-35 gallon cans at the curb on your normal solid waste collection day. Efforts will be made to reuse or recycle the old cans.

• Alternatively, you may choose to reuse the cans at home for storage of birdseed, garden or sport equipment, mulches, etc. Some residents may wish to use cans for on-site yard waste collection in your yard, and empty the cans into the wheeled cart for curbside collection. A diagram of converting usable trash cans into rain barrels is posted below under "additional information."
