Other household items such as sofas, beds and furniture can be placed out for regular trash collection but is limited to one large item per trash collection. Rugs must be rolled and tied and can be put out for regular collection.

As of January 24, 2013 trash haulers will no longer accept computers & computer peripherals (printers & monitors), and small household appliances with cords for trash collection.  It is the responsibility of the homeowner to ensure these products go to authorized recycling centers.
