• Old Trash & Recycling Bins: Many have asked what they can do with their old trash and recycling bins. While we would encourage you to try and repurpose these containers if possible, we now have official word from Republic on disposal procedures. If you want to dispose of these items, please clearly mark them as "trash" with a sign and place them curbside with your regular trash. Republic will pick them up.
• Properties that were previously serviced on Wednesday will now be serviced on Monday. Tuesday service remains unchanged. Click here to view a map of the updated pickup areas.
  
• Don't worry if you have not yet received your bins from Republic. If they have not arrived by your designated pickup just put your trash out as you did for the previous hauler and Republic will pick it up.
• Trash and recycling will be picked up by separate trucks. Republic does not use split-body trucks.
