Litter Basket Request or Complaint

The City places and maintains garbage receptacles at commercial street corners along standard collection routes.

The City accepts requests for litter baskets in new locations within commercial and mixed-use zones. The City also accepts reports that public waste receptacles are overflowing or are being used for household or commercial purposes.

A person or group may adopt a City trash receptacle and change liners when the baskets are full. The City provides liner bags and a collection schedule.

A person or group may donate an upgraded litter basket to replace a standard litter basket. The sponsor will receive a recognition sign with their name or company logo.
