Trash Collection & Recycling

Check the holiday trash pickup schedule here.

 

Village Spring Cleanup 2024 is Saturday, May 18!

May 18 is Spring Cleanup from 9am to 1 pm, and this year we’re trying something new: Swapoween!  at the Community Building parking lot. You can show up with a truck-bed load of trash as usual for the dumpsters, and/or you can set up a table of stuff, spread out a tarp, or just trade individual items—a chance to hang out a bit and get to know your neighbors and their stuff. At 1 p.m., you can throw your stuff in the dumpster (for a sliding scale fee depending on the amount). Village residents only!
