12 bags of garbage OR
6 bags of garbage and ONE large item-sofa, mattress, appliance, etc.
Please note that special handling fees will apply to televisions, computer monitors, and other electronics. Already used your two free clean ups?

Clean Up Day Tips:
Let us know how many bags of garbage and which bulky items you’ll be putting out at the curb.
No loose garbage will be collected. Put in bags or boxes.
All branches or carpet rolls must be tied and no longer than 4 feet.
Please recycle yard waste and other recyclables on your collection day.
