Service for Disabled Customers

The Solid Waste Services provides Special Collection Assistance Service to residents who are both temporarily or permanently disabled and unable to set out their garbage carts for pickup and have no one living with them to assist.

  • No one else living or employed (part or full time) in the household is capable of placing the garbage cart at the curb.
  • A licensed U.S. physician must certify the resident's disability is of a nature that prevents the resident from setting the garbage at the curb.
  • Application must be re-submitted annually from the date of original application. Failure to do so will result in discontinuance of special assistance service.
  • Applicant authorizes City personnel to enter their private property for the purpose of providing waste collection service.
