The trash, recycling, and compost collection schedule for your home is based on your address.

Look up the trash and recycling collection schedule for a specific address.

Look up the curbside composting schedule for a specific address.

Place your items curbside on the curb between 4 PM and midnight the evening before your scheduled pickup.

If your pickup is before 4 PM, you must retrieve bins by 9 PM.
If your pickup is after 4 PM, you must retrieve bins by 9 AM the following morning.

Suspensions may occur for a City holiday or during a snowstorm.

In general, there is no collection on sanitation holidays, but that is subject to change. You can check back near the date of the holiday to confirm the collection schedule.

Usually:

If a holiday occurs on your trash or compost collection day, put your items out after 4 PM that day for collection beginning the next day.
If a holiday occurs on your recycling collection day, put your items out after 4 PM the day before your next scheduled recycling collection day.
