GARBAGE.  Weekly, following the current schedule.

YARD TRIMMINGS.  Bi-Weekly (technically Semi-Monthly)

+ If your garbage is collected weekly either on a Monday or Tuesday,
then yard waste will be picked up sometime during the week of the
1st and 3rd Monday of each month.  No specific day assigned.
+ If your garbage is collected weekly either on a Wednesday or
Thursday, then yard waste will be picked up sometime during the week
of the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month.  No specific day assigned.

You can make an appointement now, first pick-ups begin mid-October.

to fine homeowners who put out bulk rubbish but do not make a
pick-up appointment.
