"Now is this is the time to review what you can already put curbside on your trash and recycle day," city officials said. "Don't wait in line at Clean Up Day for items you could've just put on the curb."

What you can throw out curbside

• Bulky items - furniture and mattresses are taken curbside on your trash day.
• Refrigerators and freezers are taken curbside if you have freon removed by a licensed technician and a certification sticker applied to the item.
• Up to 6 items (bags of trash, furniture, etc.) can be placed curbside with your trash cart on your trash day.

• Glass bottles, plastics, aluminum and newspaper can all go in your recycle cart. (Please don't bag your recycling).

What you can take to the City Recycle Center

The city recycle center located at 15500 Sun Light Near Way and is open Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and accepts items not recycled curbside to include: brush and tree limbs, leaves, vehicle batteries, transmission fluid, motor oil, Anti-freeze, oil filters and tires (up to 4 per year).
