Bundled trash should not exceed 4 feet in length and all excess trash should not exceed 60 pounds. The entire volume of solid waste placed at the curb for collection outside the 95-gallon solid waste collection container, including yard waste, bulky items, personal bags,and/or other 30 gallon cans shall not exceed two (2) cubic yards or a space of approximately 3’x 3’ x 6’ on each collection day.

Bulk Item Collection

Roll Offs

Whether you’re planning a household renovation or a landscaping overhaul, we have residential roll-off containers available in different sizes to fit your disposal needs.

Kimble will coordinate the appropriate delivery and pick up dates so you only pay for the dates you need. Contact Kimble to request a roll off rental.

Recyclables

Please do not bag recyclables. Approved recyclable items should be placed loosely in your Kimble Recycling Cart.

Kimble supplied bright green recycling cart includes information on the lid regarding what can be recycled and provides a more convenient way for residents to recycle large quantities. Please do not use your recycling cart for extra solid waste. Recycling carts containing solid waste will not be emptied and will be tagged to notify the resident of improper use. Single Stream Recycling – There is no need to bundle your newspapers, cardboard, or any other materials separately. All recyclable materials can be placed together loose (no need to bag) into your new recycling cart as a “single stream” of recyclable material. The individual components of the mixed recyclable materials or “single stream” will be segregated and prepared for market at an automated recycling facility. See the enclosed complete list of all the items which can be placed in your recycling cart to be recovered and returned to markets.

Additional Plastics Recycled – Plastic containers labeled #1 through #7 can be recycled. Most plastic products are labeled on the bottom with a recycling symbol consisting of arrows that cycle clockwise to form a rounded triangle, and enclosing the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7. Any rigid food container or other consumer product container labeled in this fashion can be included for recycling. Examples of plastic containers that can now be recycled include salad dressing bottles, peanut butter and jam jars, juice bottles, squeezable bottles (ketchup and mustard), clam shell food containers, microwavable food containers, yogurt containers, margarine tubs, baby milk bottles, shampoo bottles, cooking oil bottles, hand soap bottles, apple sauce cups, cool whip containers, and plastic flower pot containers. Plastic items not acceptable include plastic bags, shrink wrap, Styrofoam, toys, motor oil and antifreeze containers. As you can see, there is a tremendous amount of material which can be diverted from your solid waste cart to your new 64- gallon recycling cart. Recycling a ton of plastic saves the energy equivalent of 1,500 gallons of gasoline!
