Extra Garbage Bag Tags

If you are a residential customer with extra garbage that does not fit inside your garbage cart, you can purchase a garbage tag for $6 and place an additional bag of garbage per tag on the curb for pick up.

To use the extra tag:

• Bag the extra garbage in 35-gallon or smaller plastic bag.
• Keep the maximum bag weight under 30 pounds.
• Stick the tag on the front of the bag with the tag facing the street.
• Place curbside for pick up on your collection day.

Garbage placed inside cardboard boxes will not be collected.
