Cottesmore has 2 pick up days. On Monday garbage is picked up and on Thursday garbage and recycling are picked up. You may put out the appropriate cans the evening before, but not before 6PM. Please make sure the cans are brought in no later than 6PM the day of pick up.

If your regular collection day falls on any of these holidays, collection will be made on your next regularly scheduled collection day; there are no makeup days.

Any items that will not fit in the garbage cart or heavy duty trash bags require a special bulky item pick-up. Bulky item pick-up is the same day as the recycling and yard waste pick-up.

Bulk items are any large discarded household item that cannot be placed in a curbside container because of its size, volume, shape or weight. Bulk Waste includes, but is not limited to, sofas, tables, sinks, toilets, other fixtures, furniture, ladders and carpet. Bulk Waste does not include White Goods, Electronic Equipment or Extraordinary Waste. Such materials shall be placed at Curbside and shall not include vehicles, vehicle component parts, boats or boat trailers or their component parts, or liquid waste. Further, Bulk Waste shall be disassembled, if possible, into sections or pieces of less than fifty (50) pounds in weight and four (4) feet in length, prior to pickup.

Yard waste collection is on the same day as your recycling collection. Yard waste must be prepared for collection by either:

Placing in personal containers no larger than 45 gallons, weighing no more than 50 pounds when filled.
Placing in paper bags/sacks.
Tying in bundles no longer than four feet in length.

No branches thicker than four inches in diameter.
No more than ten (10) bundles or containers.
No Plastic Bags.
