Trash, Recycling, & Lawn Care

Remember to take care of your trash. You should NOT leave trash in your yard or on the driveways/sidewalks adjacent to your house. Trash left inappropriately on your property or outside of the collection schedule will result in neighbor complaints and follow-up by the University. Please consider the impact that such complaints can have on the community, as well as the resources needed to respond. Trash can significantly impact the quality of life, and attract animals. Do your part by keeping your neighborhood clean and safe.

Trash and Recycling

• Trash and recycling should be set out between 7:00 p.m. the night before collection day or 7:00 a.m. the day of collection.
• Place all trash in trashcans or sealed plastic bags filled no more than the 40 pound limit.
• Recycling day is the same day as trash day. Recycle glass, aluminum cans, newspapers and 1 and 2 plastic in the blue container (or any container marked recycling).
• Place all trash in trashcans or sealed plastic bags filled no more than the 40 pound limit.
• Avoid clear trash bags, black bags are preferred.

Bulk Items and Tires

• The trash truck will NOT pick up tires, appliances, water heaters, mattresses and other bulk items as part of curbside collection.
• To remove these larger items, you will have to hire a private hauler to dispose of these items or residents may bring no more than 2 items to a Sanitation Convenience Center.

Leaf Control and Lawn Care

• Grass should not grow in excess of 3 feet and the property should be free from weeds.
• Bag leaves separately and put them in large brown paper bags or clear bags and set out on your regularly scheduled trash day.
