What about those Extra Set-Outs?

How many times have you found yourself with more garbage than your Herbie will hold? From time to time we all have extra set-outs, those bulky items that will not properly fit -- allowing the Herbie lid to close. Please remember that Yard Waste is a separate collection. Some material requires additional preparation before it can be collected:

• Animal/Human Excrement - must be doubled bagged prior to placing into Herbie.
• Appliances - call 425-2255 for pick-up details.
• Cardboard - flattened, bundled and tied.
• Carpet - must be cut and tied in 4-foot sections. Bundled carpet weight should not exceed sixty (60) pounds. If you have carpet installed by a professional, they should take the old carpet away.
• Dead Animals - call 425-2255 for pick up of small animals carcasses such as cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels and rats placed in the public right of way. No service on private property.
• Furniture - mattresses, couches, etc. please call 425-2255 for pick-up details.
• Glass - broken and placed in galvanized trash cans with a lid. Glass in windows & doors must also be broken and put in a can.
• Medical waste - needles and used gauze pads should be securely enclosed in a metal container, such as a coffee can before being placed in the Herbie. Urine bags should be emptied to prevent them from breaking during collection and compacting process.
• Paint - solidified with sand, dirt or kitty litter; no lead-based paints. For large amounts call DEEM at 258-3784.
• Swing sets, clothesline poles, pipe and all other types of metal - must be cut into 4 foot sections and all concrete removed from pole.
