Other notes

  • City facility schedule separates Monday-Saturday recycling from Saturday-only Ridge Road waste. Do not bring ordinary trash on a weekday based on recycling hours.
  • Bulky examples include drained appliances and furniture/mattresses. City explicitly offers free resident bulky drop-off within limits.
  • City does not collect construction/demolition debris such as concrete, lumber, brick, dirt, drywall, shingles, siding, toilets or sinks; page directs residents to private waste service. Do not assume public transfer-station acceptance of renovation loads.
  • Computers/cell phones explicitly directed to Carr Center. Other electronics need separate official item guidance; no promise TVs accepted at Ridge Road.
  • HHW guidance lists oil, cleaners, solvents, pesticides and household chemicals on first-Friday collection only. Latex paint is not hazardous; city directs complete drying before trash.
  • Curbside monthly bulk week and worker truck-route hours are not drop-off operating hours.
  • City headings introduce bulky drops at following locations but detailed Carr schedule lists recycling/shredding/computers only. Use Ridge Road Saturday waste access; call before assuming Carr accepts bulky furniture.
