The city requires yard debris and household items to remain in separate piles and keeps electronics and paint out of annual or special pickup.
Plan the private pickup route
For a private pickup, show the driveway or curb position, any gated entry, and the route from the room or garage. Keep scheduled municipal piles distinct from the private-removal load.
