What Trash is Not Accepted during regular Collection?
Special trash (furniture, appliances, tires, etc.), yard waste (leaves, grass, brush, logs), and electronics are not considered household refuse and should not go out to the curb on your regular collection day. For these items, see the What are Special Collections Guide.
Not sure what’s recycling versus trash? Check out our handy Recycling Guide. We are a green City, so refuse carts containing recyclable materials will not be collected.
Roof shingles, asphalt, tarpaper, bricks, dirt, rocks, concrete, block, pressurized containers, explosives, paint, poisons, fluorescent light bulbs or tubes, batteries, ammunition, and caustics or hazardous materials are also not accepted.
Used motor oil may be recycled anytime at the Department of Public Works. The designated receptacle is for used motor oil only - please do not dump other automotive fluids in the motor oil receptacle. Dispose of oil and containers in accordance with posted directions.
