By taking care of garbage, we take care of our environment, preserving the health and beauty of our island home.
T aking care of garbage is everyone's business.
It's the City's job to provide an islandwide waste management system that protects our environment and operates efficiently to minimize costs to island residents and businesses. On an island, land is one of our most precious commodities. V arious types of collection services are provided to the public that channel waste materials to their appropriate end. Community recycling bins transport bottles, jars, cans and paper to recycling facilities. Curbside collection of yard waste goes to mulching and composting facilities.
