The week of May 16 - 20 is Trash Amnesty Week, according to the City of Auburn website.
Fees normally assessed for the collection of over-sized yard debris and other bulky waste will be waived.
Residents are asked to pay close attention to the following guidelines when placing items out for collection:
- Debris should be placed at the curb no later than 6:00 a.m. on your regularly scheduled collection day. Please avoid placing items on or near mailboxes, utility boxes or poles, or other fixed objects. All items should be properly contained or bundled so they do not fall into the street or down storm drains.
- The City will accept yard waste, appliances, and bulky items for collection. No household garbage, hazardous waste, or other unacceptable waste should be placed out for collection with debris.
- Debris should not be placed in the roadway, on or around storm drains, near utility lines, on utility boxes, or on vacant lots.
- Limbs and other debris should be no longer than 5 feet in length.
- To facilitate wood debris and metal recycling efforts, please separate all wood debris, including limbs and grass clippings from metal items.
